When is Spine Fixation Needed?
ð Spondylolisthesis
When one vertebra slips forward over another, causing instability and nerve compression.
â ïļ Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of spinal canal causing nerve compression after decompression may require stabilization.
ð Traumatic Fractures
Spinal fractures causing instability require fixation to prevent neurological damage.
ð Degenerative Scoliosis
Progressive curvature causing pain and imbalance may need correction and stabilization.
ðŊ Revision Surgery
Previous failed spine surgeries may require additional fixation for stability.
ðĶ Spinal Tumors/Infection
After removal of tumors or infected tissue, stabilization is often needed.
Frequently Asked Questions?
