Lumbar Spine Pedicle Screw Fixation: Advanced Spinal Stabilization Surgery

Lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation is a surgical technique used to stabilize the spine by inserting screws into the pedicles of the vertebrae in the lumbar region. The main functions of this procedure are to provide immobilization, correct deformities, and facilitate fusion of the vertebrae. Technological features of this technique include the use of high-grade materials like titanium, which are compatible with MRI and CT scans, ensuring durability and patient safety. The screws are specifically designed with threading that allows for secure purchase in the bone, and they often come with rods that connect the screws to provide additional stability. Applications of lumbar spine pedicle screw fixation are diverse, ranging from treating spinal fractures and instability to addressing conditions like spondylolisthesis and spinal tumors.
