A herniated disc occurs when the soft gelatinous core of an intervertebral disc pushes out through a tear in the tough, fibrous outer wall. It is one of the most common spinal disorders that can lead to mild to severe pain in your neck or back.
Myelopathy is a term used to describe the symptoms of an underlying spinal condition that compresses or irritates the spinal cord. It includes the feeling of heavy limbs, trouble balancing, muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and/or loss of bladder and/or bowel control.
Radiculopathy is a term used to describe the symptoms of an underlying spinal condition that compresses or irritates spinal nerves. It includes pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness along the path of a nerve.
Adjacent Segment Disease
Spondylolisthesis is a condition where one vertebra has slipped forward over another one below it. This misalignment typically occurs as a result of advanced degenerative disc disease, stress fractures, or congenital abnormalities, and in rare cases from a tumor or trauma.
Back pain can be the result of a sudden, awkward movement, strained back muscles and ligaments, lifting heavy objects, or using improper body mechanics.
Adult degenerative scoliosis is a condition where a right-left or lateral curve develops in a previously straight spine secondary to advanced degenerative disc disease.
The market disrupting design and manufacturing process of Modulus integrates endplate porosity with an optimized body lattice structure, providing a fully porous architecture and favorable environment for bone in-growth1 while enhancing visualization compared to traditional Ti interbody implants in a variety of imaging modalities.
Porous PEEK is manufactured through a proprietary extrusion process which produces a unified porous-to-solid structure that mimics the cortical-to-cancellous transition of bone. Currently available for Cervical and Thoracolumbar applications, Cohere® and Coalesce™ are the only porous PEEK interbody implants available in the market.
O-arm is an intraoperative 3D imaging capability that allows for on table CT scanning and if integrated with navigation platform such as Stealth system, it can assist in directing instrumentation to be guided into the Spinal Bones to aid in fusion surgery.
Gone are the days of the traditional open surgeries of the spine, nowadays the modern application of technology and advancement in imaging has revolutionised the way we perform surgeries and enable patients recovery! Every aspect of spinal surgical care has evolved into state of the art that aims to get patients restore fast and minimising surgical trauma. At Spine Ortho Clinic, our surgeons use Early Recovery Anaesthetic Surgery protocols to get our patients ambulant immediately to mitigate associated complications and use advanced surgical technique such as Keyhole surgery fusions and Stab incision instrumentation method using O-arm and Robotics and use adjuncts to limit blood loss which all enable faster rehabilitaiton after your surgeries.
Most instances of SIJ dysfunction can be managed with oral medications, physical therapy and injections. Patients with debilitating disease, who fail to respond to non-operative measures may benefit from surgery.
The aim of surgery is to prevent abnormal motion and instability at the joint which is the main cause of pain. This is achieved by placing screws or other hardware across the joint to stabilize it.
Our preferred method of fixation utilizes minimally invasive techniques with O-arm navigation to improve our outcomes and reduce recovery times from surgery.
The Sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are located in the back of the pelvis. It is formed where the Iliac bones on either side of the pelvis meet the sacral bone at the lower part of your spine.
As with other joints, the SI joint too can undergo wear and tear, get injured or have the ligaments fail. A dysfunctional SI joint may cause pain in the lower back, buttocks, legs and groin.
Other conditions may give you similar symptoms and it is important to have your doctor carefully assess you for an accurate diagnosis.
