How Posterior Spinal Fusion with Correction (May include Ponte Osteotomy) is performed
Under general anesthesia and neuromonitoring, pedicle screws/hooks are often used with shaped rods to construct an orthopedic framework; Ponte posterior column osteotomy and facet joint release are performed to increase flexibility if applicable. Subsequently, derotation, pushing and pulling, and placement of curved rods are performed, followed by bone surface treatment and bone grafting (optional autograft/allograft/alternative materials) to promote fusion. Postoperative monitoring of nerves, bleeding, and pain, gradual getting out of bed, and brace protection as needed, with the goal of improving appearance and sagittal balance. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital plan.
