The present disclosure includes systems, apparatuses, and devices for impeding vertebra displacement. In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method for performing spinal fusion surgery includes implanting a spinal fusion instrumentation between a second and a third vertebra so as to promote a fusion between the second and third vertebra. The method also includes coupling a first fastener attached to a first end of an elongated tissue to a first vertebra that is not coupled to the second vertebra or the third vertebra via the spinal fusion instrumentation. Additionally, the method includes coupling a second fastener attached to a second end of the elongated tissue to the second vertebra, so as to impede a lateral displacement of the first vertebra after the spinal fusion surgery.
