Spinal fixation is a specific surgical technique that uses spinal fixation devices to provide stability and restore anatomic alignment. It is used in the treatment of fractures, degenerative disease, infection, and tumors. It helps to correct the congenital deformities such as those seen in Scoliosis. Internal fixation helps to maintain position and alignment to prevent motion as spine fuses. This operation or surgery is done to prevent motion and reduce the pain the areas with the conditions like arthritis. This surgery is recommended in cases of vertebral fracture, vertebral deformity, or degenerative vertebral disorders.
