How Posterior Corrective Fusion + Internal Fixation is performed
This procedure is usually performed via a posterior approach under general anesthesia. Autologous/allogeneic or artificial bone can be selected as fusion material. A common practice is to use fluoroscopy and nerve monitoring to place pedicle screws, connect rods and gradually perform correction, combined with decompression or osteotomy if necessary. Subsequently, bone graft is implanted to promote fusion, drainage is placed, and the incision is closed in layers. In the early postoperative period, neurological function, pain, and bleeding are monitored, with the goal of restoring stable alignment and gradual rehabilitation. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
