posterior spinal fixation
Posterior spinal fixation is a surgical technique designed to stabilize the spine by attaching rods and screws to the vertebrae from the back. Its main functions include providing immediate stability to the spine, correcting spinal deformities, and facilitating the fusion of vertebrae. Technological features of this procedure encompass the use of advanced materials that are biocompatible and durable, as well as minimally invasive methods that reduce recovery times. This procedure is commonly applied in the treatment of conditions such as spinal fractures, herniated discs, spinal tumors, and spinal deformities like scoliosis. The procedure not only helps to alleviate pain but also aims to restore the normal function of the spine.
