Scoliosis Spine Surgery in India

Overview

Spinal Fusion Surgery for Scoliosis entails implanting implants such as screws, pins, wires, or sticks into the curved bones of the spine and straitening it. This is followed by placing bone grafts within the backbone. These grafts are usually removed from the pelvic bone of the individual and eventually fuse and grow together adjusting the curvature of the backbone. Q: What are the chances of rod breaking? A: Rods are typically made from stainless steel or ceramic but can break if the spine hasn’t fused properly. Revision surgery may be required

Procedure Details

Q: Can scoliosis surgery reduce arthritis risk? A: Surgery can reduce the risk of arthritis in severe curvatures due to lessened abnormal pressure on spinal joints. Q: Which is better — own bone graft or allograft? A: Own bone grafts are standard but can cause donor site pain. Allografts are sterilized and often mixed with BMP to stimulate fusion. Q: What is long fusion and its side effects? A: Fusion of the entire spine. May lead to early arthritis in the lower back due to increased stress on unfused segments
