About Spondylosis

Spondylosis in pediatric orthopedics refers to the diagnosis and management of degenerative changes in the spine of children and adolescents, a condition less common than in adults but requiring specialized care. This encompasses a spectrum from congenital spinal abnormalities to early-onset wear-and-tear, often affecting the cervical or lumbar regions. A pediatric orthopedic specialist employs a comprehensive, conservative-first approach, utilizing advanced imaging like MRI to assess disc health, vertebral alignment, and nerve compression. Treatment is highly individualized, focusing on non-surgical interventions such as physical therapy, activity modification, and bracing to manage pain, correct posture, and preserve spinal function during critical growth years. Surgical options are considered only in severe cases of neurological deficit or spinal instability.

Key Highlights

Specialized, age-appropriate care focused on the growing spine.Emphasis on conservative, non-surgical management to preserve natural growth and mobility.Utilization of pediatric-specific imaging and diagnostic protocols for accurate assessment.Multidisciplinary approach often involving physiotherapists and pain management specialists.Aims to prevent long-term disability and promote healthy spinal development into adulthood.

Who is this surgery for?

Persistent neck or back pain in a child or adolescent unresponsive to rest and over-the-counter medication.
Congenital spinal abnormalities (e.g., spinal stenosis, malformed vertebrae) leading to early degenerative changes.
Neurological symptoms such as radiating arm or leg pain, numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness.
Significant limitation in daily activities, sports participation, or posture abnormalities due to spinal issues.
Findings of disc degeneration, bone spurs (osteophytes), or spinal instability on MRI or CT scans in a pediatric patient.

How to prepare

Comprehensive consultation with a pediatric orthopedic surgeon to review medical history and symptoms.
Advanced imaging studies (X-rays, MRI) to precisely locate and characterize the spondylosis.
Pre-operative blood tests and a general physical examination to ensure fitness for any potential procedure.
Discussion with the child and parents about the treatment plan, expectations, and any non-surgical options.
Guidance on ceasing certain medications (like anti-inflammatories) and fasting instructions if surgery is planned.

Risks & possible complications

General risks of anesthesia, especially tailored to pediatric patients.
Infection at the surgical site or in the spinal tissues.
Bleeding, hematoma, or injury to blood vessels.
Nerve injury, potentially leading to worsened pain, numbness, weakness, or, rarely, paralysis.
Failure of spinal fusion (pseudoarthrosis) or hardware complications if surgery involves instrumentation.
Adjacent segment disease, where spinal levels above or below the treatment area degenerate faster.
Persistent pain or the need for additional procedures.

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial rest with gradual, guided return to activity as directed by the surgeon and physiotherapist.
Strict adherence to post-operative wound care and medication schedules for pain and infection prevention.
A structured physical therapy program is crucial to restore strength, flexibility, and proper movement patterns.
Temporary use of a brace or collar may be recommended to support the spine during healing.
Regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing, spinal alignment, and neurological function.
Graal reintegration into school and sports, with clear guidelines on activity restrictions.

Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
Expected recovery time: 6 weeks to 6 months

PATIENT REVIEW

Vivaan Smith is a 14-year-old competitive...

Vivaan Smith is a 14-year-old competitive swimmer who has been training seriously for five years. Over the past year, he developed persistent, aching lower back pain that worsened during flip turns and intense training sessions. Initially dismissed as muscle strain, the pain became constant and began to radiate into his buttocks, severely impacting his performance and sleep. An X-ray and MRI revealed lumbar spondylosis with early disc degeneration and a stress fracture (spondylolysis) at L5. His pediatric orthopedic surgeon recommended a course of conservative treatment before considering any procedure: a strict 3-month break from swimming, targeted physical therapy to strengthen his core and paraspinal muscles, and a temporary back brace for support. Vivaan found the experience frustrating and isolating, watching his teammates from the sidelines. The physical therapy was challenging but gave him a sense of control. After three months, his pain had significantly decreased. A follow-up MRI showed good healing of the stress reaction. Emotionally, Vivaan went from feeling angry and defeated, fearing his athletic career was over, to being cautiously optimistic. He learned to manage his body's limits, incorporated lifelong core exercises into his routine, and successfully returned to swimming with modified training, valuing his health over unchecked intensity.
