Spinal Fractures
When the spinal column experiences a traumatic injury, its bony structures can fracture (break), causing pain, instability and in some cases, paralysis. Surgical options include:
- Decompression surgery if the fracture leads to the compression of nerves or spinal cord.
- Anterior cervical, thoracic or a lumbar vertebral body replacement surgery ? removing and replacing a damaged vertebra
- Spinal reconstruction by using various fixation devices allowing realignment, stabilization and healing of your injured spinal anatomy.
