Spine Fusion
Spine fusion surgery is a procedure used to treat various spinal conditions where two or more vertebrae are permanently joined together. This procedure is often used to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, or after traumatic spinal injuries. By fusing the vertebrae, spine fusion stabilizes the spine, alleviating pain and preventing further damage.
The goal of spine fusion is to stop the movement between two or more vertebrae, thereby reducing pain caused by abnormal motion. This can improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve compression, and restore overall function and stability. The surgery can be done using traditional open surgery or minimally invasive techniques, depending on the complexity of the condition.
Benefits of Spine Fusion
Spine fusion offers a range of benefits for patients suffering from chronic back pain or spinal instability. The procedure stabilizes the spine, reduces pain, and helps patients regain mobility and function. It can also prevent the progression of spinal deformities and improve overall quality of life.
- Reduces chronic back pain caused by spinal instability
- Stabilizes the spine to prevent further degeneration
- Improves spinal alignment and reduces deformities
- Restores mobility and function in patients with spinal issues
Our team of highly skilled surgeons uses advanced techniques and technologies to ensure the best outcomes for spine fusion surgery. We personalize each treatment plan to suit the patient's specific condition and goals, ensuring the highest chances of success.
How Spine Fusion Works
Spine fusion surgery involves the use of bone grafts and sometimes metal implants to fuse the vertebrae together. The surgery can be performed from the front (anterior), back (posterior), or side (lateral) of the spine, depending on the location of the problem. The surgeon will carefully remove any damaged discs, place the bone grafts, and secure the vertebrae using screws, rods, or plates. After the fusion site heals, the vertebrae will grow together, permanently stabilizing the spine.
