Spinal Implants and instruments are necessary to perform a spinal surgery which can be needed if the patient’s flat back syndrome is not relieved by the non-surgical means.

Perfect posture has been highly sought- after trait of both beauties and healthy for time immemorial. However, the human spine has a natural set of back-to-front curves that maintain your center of gravity and keep your body upright. The alternating curves, called the kyphosis and lordosis, minimize the effects of gravity, thereby allowing you to maintain perfect posture and move with least effort.

When the lower back loses its lordosis, the spine is left without its natural balance as well as forces the affected individual to lean forward. This is called flatback syndrome.

What Causes Flat Back Syndrome? Causes of flat back syndrome range anywhere from ankylosing fractures and degenerative disc disease to compression fractures and post-lumbar fusion complications. Patients who had been treated with Harrington rods (an orthopedic implant) to connect scoliosis between the 1960s and 1980s are at an especially high risk of flat back syndrome.

Sufferers of this condition commonly experience the following problems:

• Difficulty standing upright
• Muscle fatigue
• Chronic low back pain
• Neck pain
• Groin and thigh pain

Symptoms are known to worsen later in the day, as it becomes increasingly more problematic to remain upright while working or performing any other daily routine activities.

Can Flat Back Syndrome Be Corrected?

The first step in correcting flatback syndrome is anti-inflammatory medication as well as physical therapy, focusing primarily on gait and posture restoration. Depending on the severity of the structural problems and accompanying pain, however, you may be required to have a surgery.

A surgical branch specially intended to correct spinal alignment is called an osteotomy, a removal of a portion of the bone to allow for a correction in alignment. Your orthopedic physician will recommend the ideal form of osteotomy for your situation if non-surgical treatment options fail or are deemed insufficient. The surgical procedure is performed by using orthopedic implants and surgical instruments, in this case, spinal implants and instruments which can be accessible from orthopedic implant distributors.
