Rod fixation

Rod fixation is a surgical technique used to stabilize and support the spine, often in cases of scoliosis or spinal fractures. It involves attaching metal rods to the vertebrae using screws or hooks, which are carefully anchored into the bones. The rods help straighten and securely hold the spine in its correct position, allowing it to heal correctly and reducing pain or deformity. This procedure provides structural stability, prevents further curvature, and promotes proper alignment, supporting long-term spinal health and function.
