What is Spinal Deformity?
Spinal deformity is a multiplex change which occurs in the sagittal, coronal or planes which can appear alone or in combination. It is treated through a correction surgery to help patients with kyphosis, scoliosis, trauma, ankylosing spondylitis or others.
The spinal deformity correction surgery is a complex process of surgical bone adjustment or bone modification. If a bone grows incorrectly and results in a disease or condition like knock knees, or bowlegs a spinal deformity surgery is advised by our doctors. This corrective surgery may also be used for hands, fingers, arms, legs, knees, or ankles growing at incorrect angles or lengths. The main aim of the deformity surgery is a balanced spinal alignment to prevent further deformity for the patient to alleviate neurological symptoms faced by them. This is done through rigid fusion of the coronal and sagittal curvature.
Types and Indications of Spinal Deformity
Spinal Deformity is of many types and based on these types can cause symptoms like back pain, fatigue, stooping, spinal instability, and even compression of the heart or lungs which has been seen to cause breathing difficulties in patients.
