How Posterior Spinal Fusion (PSF) is performed
A common approach involves using pedicle screw/hook and rod systems (models determined by specialist assessment) under general anesthesia, gradually correcting the curvature with intraoperative imaging and neurological monitoring assistance, and performing bone removal and grafting to promote fusion; osteotomy or navigation is performed when necessary. A drain is placed and pressure dressing applied after the operation, and pain, nerves, and respiratory circulation are monitored postoperatively, with the goal of improving trunk balance and achieving stable fusion. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
