Spinal Fixation Surgery

Spinal fixation surgery stabilises the spine when it has become weak, unstable, misaligned, or painful due to injury, degeneration, deformity, or nerve-related problems. The surgeon uses metal implants such as screws, rods, plates, or cages to hold the spine bones in a stable position. It is often done together with spinal fusion, where bone graft material is placed so that two or more vertebrae gradually heal together into one solid segment over time.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

Detailed evaluation includes MRI, CT scans, X-rays, and bone density tests. Physical exam checks spinal movement and nerve function. Avoid food/fluids before surgery, manage blood thinners, and quit smoking since nicotine slows bone healing.

Day of Surgery

Under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes an incision over the spine, performs nerve decompression if needed, and installs implants like screws and rods. Bone graft is applied for fusion. Takes 2 to 5 hours.

Post Surgery

Monitored in recovery. Most stay in the hospital for 2 to 5 days. Early movement and walking with assistance are encouraged. Discharged with guidelines on wound care, brace usage, and avoiding bending/twisting/lifting.

Recovery Timeline

A clear, clinical timeline to help you prepare for a safe and comfortable journey back to health.

Same Day

Surgery is done. Patient is monitored in recovery room. Pain and vitals checked closely.

24 to 48 Hours

Sitting up and walking with help usually begins. Pain and stiffness are managed.

3 to 5 Days

Many patients go home once mobility, pain control, and the wound are stable.

2 Weeks

Follow-up or wound check. Light home activities gradually get easier.

4 to 6 Weeks

Walking improves. Some patients return to light desk work.

6 to 12 Weeks

Gradual return to routine daily activity. Lifting limits may still apply.

3 to 6 Months and beyond

Spinal fusion and strengthening continue. Long-term recovery depends on the levels fixed and overall healing.

In conclusion, spinal fixation surgery is an important option for patients whose spine has become unstable. It helps restore support, reduce abnormal movement, and protect spinal nerves.
