spinal screw fixation
Spinal screw fixation is a surgical technique used to stabilize the spine by screwing metal rods to the vertebrae. Its main functions include providing support to the spine, correcting spinal deformities, and facilitating the fusion of vertebrae. Technological features of spinal screw fixation systems include the use of high-grade titanium or stainless steel materials that are biocompatible and resistant to corrosion. These systems are also designed with precision-machined threads and a variety of screw sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies. Applications of spinal screw fixation are diverse, ranging from treating conditions like spinal fractures, herniated discs, and spinal instability to addressing degenerative diseases and tumors affecting the spine.
