Orthopaedic surgery of the spine is a specialized field of orthopedic surgery that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the spine. Here are some key points about orthopedic surgery of the spine:
Conditions Treated: Orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in spine surgery treat a wide range of conditions, including:
Spinal deformities such as scoliosis (an abnormal curvature of the spine)
Degenerative disc disease
Herniated discs
Spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal)
Spinal fractures
Spinal tumors
Spinal infections
Surgical Procedures: Orthopaedic surgeons perform various surgical procedures to address these conditions. Some common spine surgeries include:
Spinal fusion: This procedure involves joining two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine.
Discectomy: It involves removing a portion of a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve.
Decompression surgery: This procedure aims to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves by removing bone or tissue that is causing compression.
Artificial disc replacement: In this procedure, a damaged disc is replaced with an artificial disc to maintain motion in the spine.
Non-Surgical Treatment: Not all spine conditions require surgery. Orthopaedic surgeons may recommend non-surgical treatment options such as physical therapy, medication, spinal injections, and lifestyle modifications to manage pain and improve function.
Collaborative Approach: Orthopaedic surgeons who specialize in spine surgery often work closely with other healthcare professionals, such as neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, and physical therapists, to provide comprehensive care to patients.
