Spine Pedicle Screw Fixation: Stability and Pain Relief

Spine pedicle screw fixation is a surgical technique used to stabilize the spine by inserting screws into the pedicles of the vertebrae. Its main functions include providing immobilization, correcting spinal deformities, and facilitating fusion of the vertebrae. Technological features of this procedure encompass the use of high-grade medical materials, precision engineering for optimal screw placement, and the incorporation of rods or plates that connect the screws to offer additional support. This method finds extensive application in the treatment of conditions such as spinal fractures, spinal instability, and severe spinal deformities like scoliosis. The procedure is performed with the aid of advanced imaging techniques to ensure accurate placement of the screws, minimizing the risk of damage to surrounding nerves and tissues.
