Restoring Stability and Function to the Spine
The goal of the surgical treatment known as interbody fusion for spondylolisthesis and instability is to stabilize the spine by merging several vertebrae. Spondylolisthesis, in which a vertebra slips out of place, as well as spinal instability caused by degeneration, trauma, or other diseases, sometimes necessitate this procedure. The injured disc between the vertebrae is removed, and a bone graft or implant is inserted to encourage fusion during the treatment. It helps reduce pain and improve movement by putting the spine back in place, easing pressure on nerves, and giving long-term stability.
Spondylolisthesis is a deformity of the spine in which a vertebra slips forward over its neighbouring vertebra. Leg weakening, back pain, and nerve compression are all symptoms of this imbalance.
