What Is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae using bone grafts and hardware (such as rods, screws, or plates) to stabilize an unstable or degenerated spine. This treatment is typically used to reduce pain and prevent abnormal motion between vertebrae caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal fractures.
Pre-Operative Procedures
- Imaging Studies:
We begin with detailed imaging, including X-rays, MRI, and CT scans, to assess spinal instability or degeneration and determine the precise areas that require fusion. - Physical and Neurological Evaluation:
A thorough assessment of your mobility and nerve function establishes a baseline and helps tailor the treatment plan to your unique needs. - Pre-Surgery Optimization:
Patients may participate in prehabilitation exercises and receive nutritional counseling to promote bone health and optimize their condition before surgery.
Patient Counseling:
Our team provides detailed information about the fusion process, potential complications (such as non-union or hardware failure), and expected recovery. This ensures you’re fully informed and confident in your treatment plan.
The Surgical Procedure
Our skilled orthopedic surgeons at Baskent Hospital perform the spinal fusion procedure with precision. The operation involves:
- Fusion Process:
Surgically joining two or more vertebrae using bone grafts and hardware to create a stable, straight spinal column.
This precise approach reduces abnormal movement between vertebrae, alleviating pain and improving overall function.
Post-Operative Care & Recovery
- Hospital Recovery:
Depending on the complexity of your surgery and overall health, patients typically stay in the hospital for 3–7 days for close monitoring and initial recovery. - Pain Management & Immobilization:
Customized pain relief protocols, including medications and the use of a brace or support, help stabilize your spine during the initial healing phase. - Physical Therapy:
A gradual, structured rehabilitation program is essential. Physical therapy focuses on rebuilding strength, enhancing flexibility, and restoring overall function. - Long-Term Follow-Up:
Regular follow-up visits and periodic imaging studies monitor the success of the fusion and check for adjacent segment degeneration, ensuring sustained improvement over time.
