Spinal fixation is a specific surgical technique that uses spinal fixation devices to provide stability and restore anatomic alignment. It is used in the treatment of fractures, degenerative disease, infection, and tumors. It helps to correct congenital deformities such as those seen in Scoliosis. Internal fixation helps to maintain position and alignment to prevent motion as the spine fuses. This operation or surgery is done to prevent motion and reduce the pain in the areas with the conditions like arthritis. This surgery is recommended in cases of vertebral fracture, vertebral deformity, or degenerative vertebral disorders. Lumbar pedicle screw fixation is a procedure to achieve stability of the spine by holding it together with the help of screws and rods. The aim of the procedure is to fuse the vertebra together in order to hold them in position. The procedure is a minimally invasive one and is performed under the guidance of an x-ray (fluoroscopy). Once consent is obtained from the patient, anesthesia is administered and the patient is placed in the required position. With the help of an imaging system, the area of the spine that requires implantation of the pedicle screws is marked.
