Some Spine Issues & Treatment
MIS discectomy Treatment
A MIS discectomy, which stands for Minimally Invasive Spine Discectomy, is a surgical procedure used to treat a herniated disc in the spine by removing the damaged part of the disc through a small incision, offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, but potential issues include nerve damage, bleeding, infection, and persistent pain, which can be managed with post-operative care, pain medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, further surgical intervention depending on the severity of the complications.
pedicle screw fixation treatment
Pedicle screw fixation is a surgical procedure where metal screws are inserted into the pedicles (small bony projections) of the vertebrae in the spine, providing stability and allowing for bone graft fusion to occur, typically used to treat spinal instability caused by fractures, degenerative conditions, or tumors; essentially, it “fixes” the vertebrae in place to promote healing and alleviate pain by limiting movement in the affected area.
vertebroplasty treatment
Vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that treats painful spine fractures by injecting bone cement into the fractured vertebra. The procedure is used to relieve pain and restore mobility.
disc prolapse surgery treatment
Disc prolapse surgery, also known as a discectomy, is a surgical procedure to remove a herniated disc in the spine. The surgery aims to relieve pressure on the spinal nerve.
TLIF surgery treatment
Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) is a surgical procedure that fuses two or more vertebrae in the lower back. It’s a treatment for conditions like degenerative discs, spondylolisthesis, and scoliosis.
spine sports injury treatment
Treatment for a spine sports injury depends on the severity of the injury and may include immobilization, surgery, medication, and rehabilitation.
