The Academy Award-winning actor has been using a walking stick in public since 2018 after a nasty fall on ice left him with a broken ankle.
Earlier this year, he explained: ‘I have a spine problem which affects my leg, so I can’t walk very well.’
It comes after his wife Shakira confirmed last year that Michael had undergone a major operation at a London hospital.
‘He had a back operation quite recently,’ she told the Daily Mail at the private view of Sir Michael Caine: The Personal Collection, at Bonhams auction house. ‘He had spinal stenosis.’
She described her husband as a ‘strong man’ as she confirmed that he was doing ‘great’ and was ‘recovering’ following the operation.
The Guyanese former model added: ‘The operation was fantastic. He’ll be up and dancing again soon.’
Spinal stenosis is a condition that narrows the spinal canal and can cause back and leg pain. Surgery is usually recommended only when non-surgical treatments have not been effective.
It comes after Michael paid tribute to actress Glenda Jackson after her death at the age of 87, calling her ‘one of the greatest movie actresses’.
Ms Jackson died at her home in Blackheath, south-east London, after a ‘brief illness’, her agent said.
The stars will feature alongside each other in the upcoming movie The Great Escaper, which tells a story – inspired by true events – of a Second World War veteran who escaped his care home in Hove, East Sussex, to attend the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day landings in France.
Sir Michael, 90, will star as Bernard Jordan, who made headlines around the world in 2014, while Ms Jackson will star as his wife Irene.
Ms Jackson, who gave up her acting career in 1992 to serve in Parliament for more than 20 years, was working with Sir Michael on the film which proved to be her last just weeks before her death.

The pair were pictured engaging with locals as they strolled along the Sussex seafront while making the film.
Speaking for the first time since her passing was announced, Sir Michael, 90, said: ‘Glenda was one of our greatest movie actresses. It was a privilege to work with her on The Great Escaper recently, our second film together.
‘It was as wonderful an experience this time as it was 50 years ago. I shall miss her.’
It comes after Michael achieved a career first by writing his first thriller at the age of 90.
The actor has written his first novel called Deadly Game about a Metropolitan Police detective who discovers a high-level criminal enterprise.
The book, published by Hodder & Stoughton in November, introduced DCI Harry Taylor who leads a small team of Met officers.
Michael is said to have always wanted to write a novel but only got around to it during the Covid lockdowns.
The actor came up with the idea for the book when he read a news story about two rubbish collectors who discovered uranium at a dump in east London.
According to the synopsis, seen by The Times , DCI Taylor is ‘called in when just such a package is found, mysteriously abandoned in Stepney and stolen before the police can reclaim it.
‘As security agencies around the world go to red alert, it is former SAS man Harry and his small team from the Met who must race against time to find who has the nuclear material and what they plan to do with it.’
Michael said: ‘It’s been my ambition for years to write a thriller. It’s the genre I most love to read, and I’ve really got a buzz out of working on Deadly Game and teaming up with Hodder once again to publish it. I hope readers enjoy getting to know Harry Taylor as much as I did.’
Although Deadly Game is Michael’s first novel, he’s no stranger to writing and has previously published three memoirs.
The film star first revealed he was working on the novel back in 2021, telling The Guardian: ‘I only read thrillers. I’m an adventure man, I’m not a literature person, so I’m not trying to replace Shakespeare here.
‘But it’s based on something I once read about two dustmen, two rubbish collectors in the East End . . . and they find uranium in the rubbish.’
Nick Sayers, the publisher, said: ‘When I met Sir Michael last year, I discovered that he is not only a lifelong reader of thrillers, but also an author bursting with ideas for fiction of his own. Deadly Game is a cracking thriller with a real voice and a super twist.’
In October 2021, Michael announced that he would likely retire from acting as he described his movie Best Sellers co-starring Aubrey Plaza as ‘my last part, really’.
Plot: The Great Escaper is an upcoming British–French drama film starring Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson, based on the true-life story of a British World War II veteran who ‘broke out’ of his nursing home to attend the 70th anniversary D-Day commemorations in France
New: The film is directed by Oliver Parker, and written by William Ivory. It is scheduled for release on 6 October 2023
He noted that he has limited mobility and added: ‘There’s not exactly scripts pouring in for a leading man that’s 88, you know?’
But it seems that the actor is yet to star in other projects, as he is set to take part in Czech action historical drama film Medieval, while it is believed he will reprise his role as Arthur Tressler in Now You See Me 3.
Sir Michael, who began acting in 1953 when he took a job at a repertory company in West Sussex, said: ‘I haven’t worked for two years and I have a spine problem which affects my legs so I can’t walk very well’.
Further he pointed to the memoirs he has been publishing over the past several years – The Elephant In Hollywood in 2010 and Blowing The Bloody Doors Off in 2018.
‘And I also wrote a book, a couple of books which were published and were successful so I’m now not an actor – I’m a writer,’ he said.
The Great Escaper opens in cinemas on October 6.
