Spinal Fixation Without Fusion :“A Risky Gamble”

DISCUSS WITH YOUR SURGEON “HOW WILL HE FUSE YOUR DISC?” BEFORE OPTING FOR SURGERY

A 67-year-old gentleman from Iraq endured persistent back pain and an inability to walk following a failed fixation surgery. Struggling with post-operative pain and a condition known as failed back syndrome, his quality of life had significantly declined. Desperate for relief, he sought the expertise of Dr. Hitesh Garg at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon.

After thorough Test and Diagnosis

Upon thorough evaluation, Dr. Hitesh Garg determined that a complex revision surgery was essential. The procedure involved the use of an anterior cage combined with bone grafting, a cutting-edge surgical technique designed to:

  • Improved Fusion Rates
  • Reduced Post-operative Pain
  • Better Long Term Success Rates
  • Faster Recovery

The anterior cage, filled with bone graft material, encourages natural bone growth between vertebrae, creating a solid and stable spinal fusion. This approach is particularly effective for addressing failed surgeries and correcting complex spinal deformities.

Post Surgery

Thanks to Dr. Garg’s expertise and the advanced surgical technique, the patient experienced a remarkable recovery. Just weeks after the surgery, he regained his ability to walk and returned to Iraq completely pain-free, resuming his daily life with renewed energy.

This success story underscores the transformative potential of advanced spine surgery techniques in managing even the most challenging cases.
