Calcification: This term among the public means new bone formations in the eyes of doctors. So why do these new bone formations appear? These are nature's solution to the pain caused by excessive mobility between the vertebrae. In other words, nature is trying to find a solution similar to modern medicine's fusing of bones with screws and rods, in other words "fusion, instrumentation" as doctors call it, or "Platinum Surgery" as it is called by the public. Sometimes, similar excessive ossification may occur due to the disruption of the systems that regulate the calcium rate in the body.
However, these new bone formations can compress the nerves and cause complaints similar to "canal narrowing" or "lumbar herniation". Ultimately, there is no other solution other than cleaning these bones, that is, surgery. Of course, the surgery that needs to be performed can sometimes vary from closed surgeries to open and complex surgeries, meaning that the patient may also need platinum surgery.
Waist fractures: Depending on the advanced measures in recent years. Although deaths in traffic accidents have decreased, there has been an increase in spinal fractures, especially as a result of the increasing speed of vehicles. Of course, damage to the spinal cord and nerves in these fractures also aggravates the patient's condition. Therefore, be sure to ensure that there is an experienced neurosurgeon alongside the orthopedists in the team treating these fractures.
Since these patients, especially elderly and female patients, need to be brought to their feet as soon as possible; Inevitably, "Platinum Surgery" as it is popularly known, must be performed. Of course, these surgeries can now be performed closed. Patients who have fractures in their hip and coccyx bones, as well as their waist bones, must be operated on by experienced teams.
If these fractures are due to osteoporosis in elderly people; If they occur due to very simple traumas, it is also possible to repair them with fully closed surgeries, that is, by inflating a balloon inside the bone, correcting it, and then filling the bone with bone cement. However, the point that should not be forgotten is that these surgeries may cause fractures. It should be done within the first few months after the event.
Canal Narrowing: This event can be seen in the waist, neck or back, but wherever it occurs, it is here as a result of the narrowing of the canal in the middle of the spinal bones in question. These are complaints that occur as a result of compression of both the nerves and the spinal cord. Rather than pain in the patient's waist, neck or arms or legs; It is the type of pain that occurs in the legs when walking a short distance and prevents the patient from walking. This problem is mostly seen in older ages, which doctors call "Geriatric".
There is no treatment method for this condition other than surgery. However, the patient can undergo "Minimal Interventional Surgery" as doctors call it, or "Closed Surgery, Bloodless Surgery" as it is popularly known; "Microsurgery", that is, low-risk surgical interventions performed through a small incision, or if a solution cannot be found with these, "Instrumentation" as doctors call it, or "Platinum Insertion Surgery" as it is popularly known, may also need to be performed.
