Spine surgery done the “classic” way is traditionally done with an open approach, meaning that the surgical area being operated on is opened with a long incision to allow full view and access to the anatomy by the surgeon. In the past recent years, there have been advances in technology that have allowed spinal conditions to be treated with the minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) approach.Dr. Brusovanik Helps CBS4's Eliott Rodriguez Without Surgery 2

The Process

If you are suffering from back pain and sciatica, you are not alone. Many complaints of difficulty sitting in their car or at dinner. Many will say that they cant stand upright. Others have back and leg pain when they walk or sciatica when they cough or sneeze.

Some complain of neck and shoulder pain, and a lot have been misdiagnosed due to pain under the shoulder blade and pain shooting down the arm.

The journey to defeat your pain begins with a phone call. Dr. Brusovanik will ask you a lot of questions, understand your pain, offer you to obtain an MRI or a CT scan and then review the images with you.

Knowing the diagnosis means knowing exactly which disk or vertebrae is causing your pain. An injection, done by Dr. Brusovanik’s colleague, will prove where the pain is coming from. Once you are empowered with this knowledge, you will be able to overcome your pain with the help of Dr. Brusovanik and get back to the way you were before your pain started.



Obtaining A Second Opinion

Obtaining a second opinion before undergoing spine surgery is an important step in ensuring that the recommended procedure is the best option for the patient. This is because the spine is a complex and delicate part of the body, and any surgery on the spine carries risks and potential complications. By obtaining a second opinion, patients can gain a better understanding of their condition and the potential risks and benefits of the recommended surgery, which can help them make an informed decision about their treatment.

There are several reasons why it is important to obtain a second opinion before undergoing spine surgery. First, spine surgery is a major procedure that can have significant effects on a person's mobility and overall quality of life. It is therefore important to ensure that the recommended surgery is the best option for the patient's specific condition. A second opinion can provide additional information and perspectives that can help the patient make a more informed decision.

Second, spine surgery can be a complex and delicate procedure, and there are many different approaches and techniques that can be used. A second opinion can provide the patient with a better understanding of the different options and help them determine which approach is most appropriate for their individual situation. This can help the patient make a more informed decision about their treatment and help them avoid unnecessary or potentially harmful procedures.

Third, obtaining a second opinion can also help the patient feel more confident and comfortable with the recommended surgery. Knowing that multiple doctors have reviewed the patient's case and have come to the same conclusion can provide a sense of reassurance and help alleviate any concerns or doubts the patient may have. This can help the patient feel more confident and comfortable with their treatment plan. In conclusion, obtaining a second opinion before undergoing spine surgery is an important step in ensuring that the recommended procedure is the best option for the patient. A second opinion can provide additional information and perspectives that can help the patient make an informed decision, and can also help them feel more confident and comfortable with their treatment plan. By obtaining a second opinion, patients can gain a better understanding of their condition and the potential risks and benefits of the recommended surgery, which can help them make the best decision for their individual situation.

From The Doctor | What types of artificial discs are available, and how do they differ in terms of design and materials?

Surgery known as total disc replacement (TDR) is performed to replace a damaged or deteriorated intervertebral disc with a prosthetic disc. The artificial discs on the market now come in a wide variety of designs and materials. This review will examine the various artificial discs used in TDR and discuss their similarities and differences in terms of construction.

A ball-and-socket design, the first kind of artificial disc, consists of metal endplates implanted into the vertebrae at either end and a plastic insert between them. Often employed in cervical TDR, its design provides for a great deal of freedom of movement. Prestige LP cervical disc is an artificial disc.

Sliding-core designs, which use two metal endplates and a core composed of metal or plastic that may slide between them, are another sort of artificial disc. This design is frequently employed in lumbar TDR due to its flexibility. The artificial disc developed at the Charité Medical Center is a good example of this kind.

The elastomeric design is the third category of artificial disc and is composed of metal endplates and a rubber-like elastomeric core. Often utilized in cervical TDR, its design provides a comfortable degree of mobility. Artificial cervical discs like the Mobi-C exist.

The hydrogel artificial disc is constructed from metal endplates and a water-absorbing hydrogel core. Lumbar TDR often employs this design due to its restricted mobility. The ProDisc-L is an artificial disc that fits this category.

Moreover, artificial discs can be made from a wide variety of materials. The endplates are often constructed of metals like titanium or high-strength plastics, whereas the core can be made of metal, plastic, elastomer, or hydrogel. The artificial disc’s longevity, mobility, and biocompatibility can all be impacted by the materials used to construct it.

To sum up, there are many different synthetic discs out there for TDR, each with its own construction and materials. Disc replacement options vary from patient to patient based on criteria including age, activity level, and the surgeon’s personal taste. Patients should consult with their doctors to figure out the best surgical choice for them, as is the case with any medical condition.

From The Doctor | What are the common causes of non-unions in bone fractures, and how can they be prevented?

Fractures of the bones happen to people of all ages and are common. Fractures usually heal without problems. Nevertheless, non-union occurs when the bone does not typically mend. A non-union is a condition in which the bone does not fuse following a fracture, resulting in persistent discomfort and the inability to perform routine daily activities. This post will discuss the most prevalent reasons why bone fractures don’t heal properly and what can be done to avoid them.

Lack of enough blood flow to the wounded area significantly contributes to non-unions. A healthy blood flow is essential for bone repair because it carries oxygen and nutrients to the bone tissue. Bones may not repair correctly if their blood supply is impaired by smoking, diabetes, or vascular disease. Treating preexisting problems and quitting smoking before and after a fracture are crucial preventative measures.

Inadequate immobilization of the injured region is a common contributor to non-unions. In addition, movement at the fracture site can hinder the bone from fusing if the broken piece is not held firmly and correctly in place as it heals. The best way to avoid this is to adequately immobilize the fracture using casts, braces, or surgical fixation.

The infection can induce non-unions because of the combination of low blood supply, inadequate immobilization, and the illness itself. Bone fractures can heal slowly or never if the patient has an infection at the fracture site or elsewhere in the body. Antibiotics and keeping the wound clean and dry are two of the most important things you can do to avoid infection.

Age, bad diet, and drugs like steroids can also prevent bones from joining together correctly. Non-unions can be avoided by following a balanced diet, taking the recommended vitamins, and being aware of any drugs that could interfere with bone repair.

Finally, poor blood supply, insufficient immobilization, infection, aging, malnutrition, and medication usage are all potential causes of bone fractures that fail to heal. Individuals can lower their likelihood of having a non-union if they address these variables and implement suitable preventative measures. To avoid further issues like non-unions, it is essential to consult a doctor immediately if you think you may have a fracture.
