Thoracolumbar spinal fusion

Thoracolumbar spinal fusion is a surgical procedure for stabilizing the spine in the transitional region between the thoracic and lumbar spine. It is performed in cases of scoliosis, fractures, tumors, or degenerative diseases. It involves the use of hardware such as screws and rods to connect the vertebrae. The aim is to correct deformity and relieve pain. Postoperatively, rehabilitation and gradual mobilization are required.
