Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the vertebrae. The basic idea is to fuse together the affected vertebrae so that they heal into a single, solid bone. It also prevents the stretching of nerves and surrounding ligaments and muscles. Originally described for the treatment of tuberculosis of the spine, spinal fusion has become a widely done procedure for various spinal disorders. Among other indications, spinal fusion is used for treatment of degenerative disc disease, congenital and developmental deformities such as scoliosis, and spinal instability secondary to trauma. One of the most common complications of spinal fusion is non-union. Recognizing and treating nonunion of the spine may be crucial in preventing progressive deformity in identifying instrumentation failure, and in relieving persistent pain. Material and Methods A total of 30 Patients presented with various diagnosis, who fulfil the inclusion and exclusion criterion and who reported to the Central Institute of Orthopaedics ( C.I.O.), Safdarjung Hospital associated with Vardhaman mahavir medical college, New Delhi were included in the study . Written informed consent was obtained from the patients enrolled in the study and they were followed up. Diagnosis was done on the basis of X-Ray, CT Scan and clinical signs/symptoms as per the applicable and widely accepted protocol. A prospective analysis over a period of 18 months from September 2012 to February 2014.
