Spine fixation (spinal instrumentation and fusion) uses titanium screws, rods and cages to stabilise vertebrae that have become unstable due to fracture, spondylolisthesis (slipping of one vertebra over another), tuberculosis, tumours or degenerative disease. Stabilising the spine relieves pain, protects the nerves, and allows early mobilisation.
Dr. Nilesh Jain performs cervical, dorsal and lumbar fixation in Indore, including anterior and posterior cervical fixation, pedicle screw fixation for trauma and spondylolisthesis, and antero-lateral fusion procedures.
जब रीढ़ की हड्डी टूट जाए या खिसक जाए (spondylolisthesis), तब titanium screws और rods से उसे मजबूत किया जाता है। ऑपरेशन के 1–2 दिन में मरीज चलने लगता है।
Conditions that may need spine fixation
- Unstable spine fractures after accidents or falls
- Spondylolisthesis causing back pain and leg symptoms
- Spinal instability from TB (Pott's spine) or tumours
- Severe degenerative instability with mechanical back pain
- Failed previous spine surgery with instability
- Deformity that is progressing
How spine fixation works
Titanium pedicle screws are placed into the vertebrae and connected with rods, restoring alignment and rigidly stabilising the affected segment. Where a disc or vertebral body is destroyed, a cage filled with bone graft is placed so that the vertebrae fuse into one solid unit over the following months.
Patients are mobilised within a day or two of surgery. The implants are MRI-compatible titanium and normally stay in for life without causing problems.
