Spinal fusion devices and spinal implants have been very successful in providing long-term relief from the debilitating effects of spinal injuries and back pain. Spinal fusion surgery has also been found to be very effective in the treatment of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. Spinal fusion patients are able to enjoy an improved quality of life, as well as functional independence. Spinal surgery has also been proven to be a safe, relatively simple procedure that provides long-term, symptom-free health. Spinal fusion technology is continuously progressing, improving the effectiveness of the procedure and reducing the potential for complications.
The reasons for the growth in demand for spinal fusion devices include the ability of this treatment to provide relief from severe pain due to a variety of conditions that affect people in all walks of life, as well as an increase in research and development that has produced significant improvements in the effectiveness of this treatment. The scope of treatment includes low to moderate back pain, stenosis (osteoarthritis) of the spinal column, cervical spine disorders (such as scoliosis), spinal stenosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, herniated discs, mixed disc herniation, and a wide range of other musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
Spinal fusion devices have proven to be an effective treatment option for various degenerative disc diseases, as well as spinal muscular diseases. Spinal fusion surgeries have also proved very successful in the treatment of spinal muscular diseases, such as Paget's bone disease and osteoarthritis. For instance, in September 2021, major spine solutions developing firm in the U.S., Spinal Elements, announced to launch its Luna XD inter-body fusion device, which is developed to deliver circular implants in the vertebral space during surgery. Some other spinal diseases that can now be treated with fusion surgeries include transverse myeloid leukemia (TMD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease. These surgical techniques enable spinal doctors to diagnose the exact cause of the patient's pain and treat the disorder effectively. Patients undergoing these surgeries have reported significant relief from pain and discomfort after the surgery.
