Maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on the spine
Practicing good posture while sitting, standing, or lifting objects
Engaging in regular low-impact exercises to strengthen back and core muscles
Avoiding smoking, as it affects bone health and disc integrity
Using ergonomic furniture at work and home
Managing chronic conditions like diabetes and osteoporosis effectively
Procedure of Spine Fusion Surgery
Pre-operative Assessment: Detailed history, physical examination, MRI, and X-rays are conducted to plan the surgery.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia is administered for a pain-free procedure.
Surgical Approach: The surgeon accesses the spine either from the back (posterior), front (anterior), or side (lateral) depending on the condition.
Bone Grafting: A bone graft, taken from the patient’s pelvis or a donor, is placed between the vertebrae to be fused.
Instrumentation: Screws, rods, or plates are used to hold the vertebrae in place as the bone heals and fuses naturally.
Closure: The incision is closed, and the patient is moved to the recovery area for monitoring.
