transpedicular fixation lumbar spine
The transpedicular fixation lumbar spine is a sophisticated medical procedure designed to stabilize the lumbar region of the spine by screwing hooks or rods into the vertebrae. This technique serves as a primary treatment for various spinal conditions such as fractures, deformities, or spondylolisthesis. The main functions include providing immediate stability, correcting spinal deformities, and facilitating fusion of the vertebrae. Technological features of transpedicular fixation include the use of biocompatible materials, precision engineering to ensure minimal invasiveness, and advanced imaging techniques that guide the procedure for optimal placement. Its applications range from relieving chronic back pain to restoring spinal integrity in patients with severe structural damage.
