Lumbar Vertebral Fracture treated by reduction, anterior cage and posterior implant stabilization..

The Bony, and the Ligamentous structres of the spine , along with the contained contents, viz. the spinal cord and nerves are susceptible to injury, some of it irreversible like any other organ of the body. The restoration of spinal anatomy is largely a bone and joint procedure whereby the stability and balance of the spine is restored back to normal using operative and/or manipulative means. 

Some such cases are demonstrated below. Though the bone and joint system of the spine can be restored to near normal, regrettably no neurological procedure exists at present to restore continuity in nerves of the spinal cord and the spinal nerves, and their recovery is largely natural, rare in occurence and completely spontaneous. 

The outlook for these severe injured patients is grim if it is accompanied by complete paralysis of the upper and /or the lower limbs along with the excretory system and all the focus in treatment of these patients is the early restoration of spinal anatomy and rehabilitation.

The use of stem cells in these patients is not a standard of care, and has not been shown to have any benefits in the majority of reputed studies.

Spinal Injuries

Cervical Spine Injury treated with surgical reduction and fixation with good results. Almost complete recovery in neurological function.

Compression fracture of the dorsal vertebrae treated by percutaneous and minimally invasive fixation with vertebroplasty. No neurological deficit was recorded.
