Is the Greatwall Fixation System suitable for all patients?
Publish Time: 2024-10-29
As an advanced percutaneous endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion screw system, the Greatwall Fixation System has been widely used in the field of spinal surgery in recent years. However, this does not mean that the system is suitable for all patients.
The Greatwall Fixation System is mainly suitable for lumbar degenerative diseases that require fusion, such as spondylolisthesis, segmental instability, and discogenic low back pain. It implants screws into the lumbar intervertebral space for fusion fixation in a minimally invasive way, thereby stabilizing the spine, alleviating pain, and restoring function. However, for certain specific patients, such as severe osteoporosis, infection, and bleeding tendency, the system may not be suitable.
For patients with severe osteoporosis, due to poor bone quality, it may be difficult to achieve a stable fixation effect after screw implantation, and the screws may even loosen or break. For infected patients, surgery may aggravate the symptoms of infection and even cause serious complications. Patients with bleeding tendency may bleed profusely during surgery, increasing the risk of surgery.
Therefore, when choosing the Greatwall Fixation System for treatment, the doctor needs to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the patient's specific situation, including the patient's age, physical condition, disease type, severity, etc. Only patients who meet the indications of the system can receive this surgical treatment.
In short, although the Greatwall Fixation System has many advantages, it is not suitable for all patients. When choosing a treatment plan, the doctor should consider various factors based on the patient's specific situation and develop a personalized treatment plan for the patient. At the same time, the patient should also fully understand the risks and prognosis of the operation, communicate and exchange with the doctor, and make wise decisions together.
