About Spine Dislocation

Spine dislocation surgery is a critical neurosurgical or orthopedic procedure performed to realign and stabilize vertebrae that have become displaced from their normal anatomical position, often due to severe trauma. This condition, also known as spondylolisthesis when involving forward slippage, can compress the spinal cord or nerve roots, leading to pain, neurological deficits, or paralysis. The primary goal of surgery is to decompress neural structures and restore spinal stability through spinal fusion, often using implants like rods, screws, and cages. It is a highly specialized surgery requiring advanced imaging and precision to prevent further neurological damage and enable long-term spinal integrity. Recovery involves a structured rehabilitation program to regain strength and function.

Key Highlights

    Restores spinal alignment and stability to prevent further injury.Decompresses the spinal cord and nerve roots to alleviate pain and neurological symptoms.Utilizes advanced surgical techniques and instrumentation for precise correction.Aims to prevent long-term complications like chronic pain or paralysis.Can significantly improve mobility and quality of life post-recovery.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Traumatic spinal injury from accidents (e.g., falls, vehicle collisions).
  • Severe or progressive neurological deficits like weakness, numbness, or loss of bowel/bladder control.
  • Unstable spine that fails to respond to conservative treatments like bracing.
  • Significant spinal cord or nerve root compression confirmed by MRI or CT scans.
  • Congenital or degenerative conditions leading to vertebral slippage (spondylolisthesis).

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive medical evaluation including blood tests, ECG, and imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT).
  • Discussion of medical history, allergies, and current medications (some may need to be paused).
  • Pre-operative counseling to understand the procedure, risks, and recovery expectations.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before surgery as advised by the surgical team.
  • Arranging for post-surgery support and transportation for discharge.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Nerve damage, potentially leading to worsened numbness, weakness, or paralysis.
  • Failure of bone fusion (pseudarthrosis) requiring additional surgery.
  • Hardware-related issues like implant loosening, breakage, or discomfort.
  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), persistent pain, or adjacent segment disease.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial hospital stay for monitoring, pain management, and early mobilization with assistance.
  • Wearing a spinal brace for several weeks to months to support healing.
  • Gradual, guided physical therapy to restore strength, flexibility, and proper movement.
  • Avoiding heavy lifting, twisting, or strenuous activities for the prescribed period.
  • Regular follow-up visits for imaging to assess fusion progress and implant position.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 5-10 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for initial recovery, up to 12 months for full fusion and activity
