Spinal Lumbar Surgery with Rods and Screws - Zealmax Innovations Pvt Ltd

1
Spinal lumbar surgery with rods and screws is a
medical procedure designed to address various
spinal conditions, providing relief and stability
to patients experiencing discomfort or pain. This
innovative surgical approach involves the use of
rods and screws to support and strengthen the
spine, facilitating the healing process and
improving overall spinal function. In this blog,
we will explore the intricacies of spinal lumbar
surgery with rods and screws, shedding light on
its purpose, the conditions it addresses, the
procedure itself, and the recovery process.
Understanding the Need for Spinal Lumbar
Surgery Spinal lumbar surgery is often
recommended when conservative treatments, such as
physical therapy, medications, or lifestyle
modi?cations, fail to provide su?cient relief for
spinal conditions. Common conditions that may
necessitate this surgery include herniated
discs, degenerative disc disease, spinal
stenosis, and spondylolisthesis. The decision to
undergo spinal lumbar surgery is typically made
after careful consideration of the patients
symptoms, medical history, and the severity of
the spinal condition.

• The Role of Rods and Screws in Spinal Lumbar
  Surgery
• Rods and screws play a crucial role in spinal
  lumbar surgery by providing stability and
  support to the spine. The surgeon strategically
  places rods along the affected area of the spine
  and secures them with screws into the vertebrae.
  This instrumentation helps to realign the spine,
  reduce instability, and promote the fusion of
  spinal bones. The use of rods and screws is a
  testament to the advancements in spinal surgery,
  allowing for more precise and effective treatment
  of complex spinal conditions.
• Rods and Screws Implants by Zealmax Ortho
• Rods and screws are essential components of
  spinal implants used in various spinal surgeries
  to provide stability, correct deformities, and
  facilitate the fusion of spinal segments. These
  implants play a crucial role in supporting the
  spine during the healing process. Lets delve
  into the details of rod and screw implants and
  their signi?cance in spinal procedures.
• Screws
• Monoaxial Pedicle Screw
• Pedicle screw implants use a rod screw construct
  that can be made with monoaxial screws with an
  immobile pedicle screw head. Pedicle screws in
  the Monoaxial Screw Fixation System are equipped
  with threaded bodies that provide excellent
  purchase and stability within the vertebral
  pedicle. The threads ensure a secure ?t, reducing
• the risk of implant migration or loosening over
  time.
• Speci?cations
• The monoaxial pedicle screw stabilizes the
  vertebrae.
• Used in different procedures to provide ?xation.
• Immediate stability, rigid immobilization, and
  short ?xation.
• Available in Titanium material.
• Available diameters 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5(in mm).
• Available length 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 55 (in
  mm).

• Polyaxial Pedicle Screw
• Available in various lengths and widths,
  Polyaxial Pedicle Screw has a spherical head
  that is enclosed in the housing, which allows the
  screw a range of motion along
• several different axes relative to the housing.
  Its ball joint makes it easier and more ?exible
  for surgeons to place the screw at the right
  place typically into the pedicle of the
  vertebra, in the proper manner. When applied, it
  helps maintain spinal stability and avoid
  further nerve damage especially while treating
  the thoracolumbar fracture.
• Coated with Hydroxyapatite (HA) a biocompatible
  surface to titanium medical implants that acts
  similar to natural hard tissues and improves
  bioactivity and osteoconductivity, our Polyaxial
  Pedicle Screw in Polyaxial Screw Fixation System
  is a savior for patients facing spinal trauma.
  It assists in spinal surgery by connecting
  vertebrae to rods, particularly in spinal fusion
  procedures
• Pedicle Reduction Polyaxial Screw HA Coated
• Pedicle Reduction Polyaxial Screw HA Coated
  features a more ?exible and versatile design in
  spinal surgery. These screws utilize a polyaxial
  system, allowing movement in multiple planes,
  which enhances their adaptability during surgery.
  The polyaxial design is particularly
  advantageous for complex spinal procedures that
  require adjustments in various angles and
  positions, ultimately providing surgeons with
• greater surgical precision and versatility.
• Speci?cations
• Polyaxial design for multi-plane adjustability.
• Hydroxyapatite coating enhances bio-activity on
  metallic surfaces.
• HA-coated screws promote faster bone growth and
  fusion.
• Used in different procedures to provide ?xation.
• Ideal for cases with compromised bone quality
• Available in Titanium material.
• Available diameter 4.5, 5.5, 6.5, and 7.5 (in
  mm).

• Speci?cations
• Polyaxial design for precise screw alignment with
  spinal anatomy.
• Fenestrations along the screw shaft for bone
  ingrowth and stability.
• Extended length for added purchase in
  osteoporotic or compromised bone.
• Made from biocompatible titanium for strength.
• Engineered to bear substantial loads and reduce
  stress on adjacent segments. Available diameter
  5.5 and 6.5(in mm).
• Available length 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 55 (in
  mm).
• Rods
• 5.5mm Rod for Pedicle Screw
• The 5.5mm rod for a pedicle screw is a component
  used in spinal instrumentation for stabilization
  and fusion procedures. It is a rod with a
  diameter of 5.5mm, designed to connect polyaxial
  pedicle screws. The diameter of the rod is an
  important consideration as it in?uences the
  strength and stability of the spinal construct.
• 5.5mm Chrome Rod for Pedicle Screw
• Similar to the ?rst implant, the 5.5mm chrome rod
  for a pedicle screw is a spinal rod with a
  diameter of 5.5mm. The use of chrome suggests
  that the rod is likely made
• from a chromium alloy, providing durability and
  resistance to corrosion. This type of rod is
  commonly used in spinal surgeries to enhance
  stability and promote fusion.
• 3.5mm/5.5mm Tapered Rod
• The 3.5mm/5.5mm tapered rod is a specialized
  implant that combines two different diameters
  along its length. This tapering design allows for
  ?exibility and adaptability in spinal
  constructs. The smaller diameter end (3.5mm) may
  be used in areas where a ?ner degree of movement
  is required, while the larger diameter end
  (5.5mm)
