Spinal Fusion Procedures
Spinal Fusion Procedures
Spinal Fusion is a surgical procedure designed to treat various spinal conditions by fusing two or more vertebrae together. This fusion results in added stability, reduces pain, and minimizes mobility in the affected segment of the spine. Spinal fusion is often recommended when other non-surgical treatments have proven ineffective or when the spine requires stabilization due to conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, or spinal injuries.
Where precision meets minimal invasiveness, unlocking a brighter future for your spine’s health.
Key Components of Spinal Fusion Procedures
Graft Material: During the procedure, a graft material is placed between the affected vertebrae. The graft may be a piece of bone from the patient’s own body (autograft), a donor bone (allograft), or synthetic materials.
Instrumentation: In some cases, metal implants such as screws, rods, or plates may be used to stabilize the spine during the fusion process.
Benefits of Spinal Fusion Procedures
- Pain Relief: Spinal fusion aims to alleviate pain by stabilizing the spine, reducing movement, and minimizing pressure on nerves.
- Improved Spinal Stability: Spinal fusion is particularly effective in correcting spinal deformities and stabilizing the spine after injuries.
- Prevention of Further Damage: The procedure can prevent the worsening of certain spinal conditions.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: By addressing pain and improving stability, spinal fusion can significantly enhance a patient’s overall quality of life.
