Posterior cervical fusion is a surgical procedure performed through the back of the neck to stabilize the cervical spine by fusing two or more vertebrae, often using rods, screws, and bone grafts typically done in conjunction with a laminectomy to relieve spinal cord or nerve root compression.
Symptoms that may lead to this surgery include neck pain, arm weakness or numbness, gait imbalance, and bowel or bladder issues commonly caused by cervical spondylotic myelopathy, trauma, or spinal deformities like kyphosis.
reatment involves decompression of the spinal cord, placement of instrumentation to stabilize the spine, and fusion of vertebrae using bone grafts; recovery includes hospital stay, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in neurological symptoms.
