Description

Spinal fixation is a surgical procedure that stabilizes the spine by using medical hardware, such as rods, screws, and plates, to fuse two or more vertebrae together, preventing abnormal movement and promoting healing after fractures, injuries, or degenerative conditions. This technique restores alignment and provides immediate stability, but often requires a bone graft to ensure the vertebrae fuse permanently, as the hardware is not designed for long-term stress on its own.
