Spinal Fracture Fixation
Spinal Fracture Fixation Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced spinal fracture fixation surgery to stabilize the spine after traumatic injuries. Our expert spine surgeons use screws, rods, cages, and other fixation devices to restore spinal alignment, protect the spinal cord, and enable healing in cases of fractures due to accidents, falls, or osteoporosis.
We specialize in both open and minimally invasive techniques to reduce surgical trauma and promote faster recovery. Each procedure is planned with precision using advanced imaging and navigation systems to ensure optimal outcomes and long-term spinal stability.
For spinal fracture surgery in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital provides comprehensive trauma care with experienced surgeons, modern facilities, and patient-centered rehabilitation programs to help patients return to their daily lives confidently.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Spinal Fracture Fixation Journey
🩺 Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Sudden severe back or neck pain after a fall, accident, or trauma
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
- Loss of bladder or bowel control (sign of spinal cord injury –medical emergency)
- Visible deformity or swelling along the spine
- Difficulty standing or walking due to instability
📋 Phase 2: OPD / Emergency Consultation with Spine Specialist
- Immediate evaluation of injury mechanism and symptoms
- Neurological assessment to check for spinal cord involvement
- X-rays and/or CT scan to assess fracture type and alignment
- Discussion of conservative bracing (for stable fractures) vs surgical fixation (for unstable fractures or neurological symptoms)
🧪 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Planning
- CT/MRI to evaluate spinal cord compression, disc injury, and ligament damage
- Classification of fracture (compression, burst, or fracture-dislocation)
- Preoperative planning: number of vertebrae to stabilize, choice of implants (screws, rods, cages)
- Blood tests and anesthesia clearance
💊 Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Spinal Fracture Fixation Surgery:Performed under general anesthesia
- Placement of screws and rods to stabilize fractured vertebrae
- Cages or bone grafts may be used to restore spinal alignment and height
- Minimally invasive techniques may be used for selected cases to reduce muscle damage
🏥 Phase 5: Post-Surgery Care
- ICU monitoring for severe trauma or spinal cord injury cases
- Wound care and pain management
- Early mobilization with brace support as advised by the surgeon
- Regular imaging (X-rays/CT) to confirm implant positioning and healing progress
- Rehabilitation program including physiotherapy and occupational therapy
💪 Phase 6: Recovery
- Hospital stay: 5–7 days (longer if spinal cord injury present)
- Return to light activity: 6–8 weeks
- Avoid heavy lifting or twisting for 3–6 months
- Long-term follow-ups to monitor bone healing and implant stability
- Goal: Restore spinal stability, prevent deformity, and maximize neurological recovery

Helping you understand Our healthcare
It’s a surgical procedure to stabilize fractured vertebrae using screws, rods, and sometimes cages or bone grafts. This prevents further spinal damage, restores alignment, and allows healing.
- Surgery is recommended if:
The fracture is unstable or displaced - There are neurological symptoms (weakness, numbness, paralysis)
- Non-surgical treatments like bracing are insufficient
- Spinal alignment is severely compromised
Under general anesthesia, surgeons insert screws and rods into the vertebrae above and below the fracture. Cages or bone grafts may be used to fill gaps and promote fusion if needed.
Yes, with modern surgical techniques and intraoperative neuromonitoring, the procedure is safe. Risks are minimized in experienced hands.
- Hospital stay: 5–7 days (longer if spinal cord injury present)
- Light activities: 6–8 weeks
- Heavy work and sports: Avoided for 3–6 months until bone healing is confirmed
