Our spinal cord protects the nerves that send messages to the brain. It is made up of a series of
\nconnected bones or vertebrae. These vertebra are stacked on top of each other forming an \u2018S\u2019
\nshape with the curve being the most at the neck and in the lower back. Each vertebra has a disc
\nbetween them which acts as a shock absorber. Unfortunately though there are situations
\nwhere the spine can be injured and needs surgery. We at Ranka Hospital provide spine fixation in Pune<\/p>\n
and has one of the best spine surgeon in Pune, who take a look at a
\nfew situations that may require spine fixation treatment.<\/p>\n
1. Degenerative Disc Disease:<\/strong> As we grow older, the vertebrae in our spine tend to dry up 2. Spinal Stenosis:<\/strong> Sometimes the spinal cord narrows either due to aging, the presence 3. Herniated Disc:<\/strong> The shock absorber discs between each vertebra are made up of a soft, 4. Spondylolisthesis:<\/strong> Commonly occurring in the lower back, Spondylolisthesis develops 5. Spinal Osteoarthritis:<\/strong> When arthritis affects the spine, cartilage tends to degenerate. As you can see, most of the conditions mentioned above involve the movement of the implants will eventually loosen and break out of the bone. The implants only give the bone a There are different ways in which spinal fixation is approached. Some approach it from the back While complete recovery after a spine fixation surgery takes a while, a patient may be released The main thing to remember while recovering from spine fixation treatment is that no matter At Ranka Hospital, Pune our first line of treatment is conservative. It is only when these fail that Ranka Hospital, Pune has a team specialized in spinal orthopedic treatments such as spine <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our spinal cord protects the nerves that send messages to the brain.

\nand harden. This creates friction between the bones leading to a number of painful
\nspinal problems such as Spinal Stenosis and Spinal Osteoarthritis. Problems arising from
\nthe natural aging of the spine are known as degenerative disc disease. Lifestyle changes,
\nphysical therapy and medication help degenerative discs to some extent. However, if
\nthese fail spine fixation treatment may be considered.<\/p>\n
\nof an underlying spinal condition or because some people are born with a congenital
\nform. The narrowing of the spinal cord is called Spinal Stenosis. When this happens, the
\nnerves travelling through the spinal canal are pressurized. While there is no cure for
\nSpinal Stenosis, there are a number of ways to manage the pain, including spine fixation
\ntreatments.<\/p>\n
\ngel-like nucleus and a hard outer casing. With injury or aging, the disc may tear open,
\nallowing the nucleus to seep out. This nucleus puts pressure on the nearby nerves. This
\nis referred to as a herniated disc.<\/p>\n
\nwhen a vertebra slides over the bone beneath it. Infection, overuse of the affected joint,
\nlack of exercise and ageing are a few reasons why Spondylolisthesis occurs. The degree
\nof slippage determines how severe the symptoms are.<\/p>\n
\nCartilage is soft tissue that prevents bones from rubbing against each other. When this
\ndegenerates it leads to the formation of bone spurs and other problems.<\/p>\n
\nvertebrae and pain is caused due to that movement. Spine fixation is a procedure that aims to
\nrestrict this movement. Using metallic screws, rods, plates and implants the spine is
\nimmobilized until the spinal segments fuse together. If the bone doesn\u2019t heal over time, the<\/p>\n

\nplace the bone graft at risk. This includes being aware of one\u2019s posture, avoiding bending and
\nlifting heavy objects. Care should be taken while getting in and out of bed. Patients are also
\nrequired to be especially careful while dressing, bathing and wearing shoes. Usually one can
