严重背痛的脊柱融合
什么是Spinal Fusion?
脊柱融合是一种手术选择，可以建议治疗椎骨骨折，脊柱侧弯，脊柱狭窄，退行性椎间盘疾病，脊椎滑脱症和类似疾病的严重疼痛。该手术通过使用骨移植物，金属板和杆子永久连接两个或多个椎骨，从而提供稳定性并减轻背部疼痛。该过程模仿骨折的自然愈合过程。
当更保守的疗法（例如药物和物理疗法）无法改善运动伴随的严重颈部和背痛时，可以考虑脊柱融合。促使手术考虑的症状通常很严重，可能包括一条或两条腿的剧烈疼痛，无力，刺痛和麻木。
The surgery is typically successful when the source of the spinal pain, such as a fracture, deformity or instability, is clear. A fusion immobilizes that portion of the spine.
What to expect during a Spinal Fusion
Prior to the procedure, patients will typically undergo blood tests and imaging, possibly including X-rays, an MRI and a CT scan. Several methods of spinal fusion are available, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition, the location of the pain, and the number of vertebrae that need to be fused. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and most patients remain in the hospital two to four days, depending on a number of factors including the number of vertebrae fused. Some patients wear braces for spinal support during healing, and outpatient physical therapy may be prescribed to help with pain and inflammation, and to help regain mobility.
平均恢复时间为6至12周。您的脊柱外科医生将为您提供与您的状况和生活方式目标有关的具体信息，以及有关手术的详细描述以及如何使如何获得最佳康复的说明。

Anatomy of the neck and spine
- 颈椎区域（椎骨C1-C7）涵盖了头骨下的前七个椎骨。他们的主要功能是支撑头部的重量，平均磅10磅。颈椎比其他区域更容易流动，而地图集和轴椎骨促进了颈部的各种运动。这些椎骨的开口使动脉可以将血液带到大脑，并允许脊髓通过。它们是最薄，最精致的椎骨。
- 胸部区域（椎骨T1-T12）由上胸部的12个小骨头组成。胸椎是唯一支撑肋骨的椎骨。姿势不良，关节炎和骨质疏松症的肌肉紧张是该地区疼痛的常见来源。
- The lumbar region (vertebrae L1-L5) features vertebrae that are much larger to absorb the stress of lifting and carrying heavy objects. Injuries to the lumbar region can result in some loss of function in the hips, legs, and bladder control.
- The sacral region (vertebrae S1-S5) includes a large bone at the bottom of the spine. The sacrum is triangular-shaped and consists of five fused bones that protect the pelvic organs.
