Multiple level fixation is a complex spinal procedure used to stabilize the spine by addressing multiple vertebrae simultaneously. This surgery is typically performed to treat severe spinal conditions, such as degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, or trauma, where multiple levels of the spine are affected. It involves the use of rods, screws, and other fixation devices to secure the vertebrae in place and ensure proper alignment during the healing process.

During the procedure, a surgeon carefully identifies the affected areas and applies the fixation system to stabilize the spine. This prevents abnormal movements of the vertebrae, reducing pain, and enabling the bones to fuse in the correct position. The goal is to restore function, improve posture, and reduce pressure on the spinal nerves.

Recovery from multiple level fixation varies depending on the severity of the condition and the complexity of the surgery. It generally involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, and gradual movement exercises. Over time, the spine strengthens and stabilizes, reducing the risk of further complications.

Multiple level fixation is a highly effective procedure for patients with complex spinal issues, offering long-term relief and improved spinal health. The procedure provides a stable foundation for healing and allows patients to return to normal activities with enhanced mobility and reduced pain.
