About Displaced Bone in Spine

A displaced bone in the spine, often referred to as a spinal fracture or spondylolisthesis, is a serious condition where a vertebra shifts out of its normal alignment. Spine surgery to correct this displacement is a precise procedure aimed at realigning the spinal column, decompressing nerves, and stabilizing the affected segment. This typically involves spinal fusion, where the surgeon uses implants like rods, screws, and bone grafts to permanently join the vertebrae together, preventing further movement and pain. The goal is to restore spinal stability, alleviate neurological symptoms such as numbness or weakness, and improve the patient's overall function and quality of life. Advanced techniques, including minimally invasive approaches, are often employed to reduce recovery time.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Severe, unremitting back or neck pain unresponsive to conservative treatment.
  • Progressive neurological deficits like leg weakness, numbness, or loss of bowel/bladder control.
  • Significant spinal instability or deformity (e.g., spondylolisthesis).li>
  • Traumatic spinal fractures from accidents or falls.
  • Prevention of further displacement that could lead to paralysis.
  • Failed previous non-surgical interventions like physical therapy or injections.

How to prepare

  • Complete medical evaluation including blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray.
  • Detailed spinal imaging (MRI, CT scan, X-rays) to plan the surgery.
  • Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the surgeon.
  • Pre-operative counseling to discuss the procedure, risks, and recovery expectations.
  • Fasting for 8-12 hours before the surgery.
  • Arranging for post-operative support and transportation.

Risks & possible complications

  • General surgical risks: infection, bleeding, or adverse reaction to anesthesia.
  • Nerve injury, potentially leading to weakness, numbness, or paralysis.
  • Failure of bone fusion (pseudarthrosis).
  • Damage to surrounding structures like blood vessels or the spinal cord.
  • Persistent pain or the need for additional surgery.
  • Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) or implant failure/migration.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial hospital stay for monitoring pain and neurological function.
  • Pain management with medications and early, gentle mobilization.
  • Wearing a back brace for support as recommended.
  • Gradual return to activities; avoiding heavy lifting, bending, and twisting for several weeks.
  • Participation in a structured physical therapy program to strengthen core muscles.
  • Follow-up appointments for imaging to monitor healing and fusion progress.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 4-7 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for initial recovery; up to 12 months for full fusion and activity

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc...

Follow-up visit for my cervical disc replacement. Dr. Dwivedi remembered my daughter's board exam results and asked about them first. His staff coordinated with insurance for my scans - clinical excellence matched by human touch.
