The Center is active in the treatment of different Spinal Pathologies :

  1. acute and chronic vertebral trauma,                

 

vertebral fractures

L4 body fractures whith radicolar soffering

vertebral fractures

TC check whit compromision of the vertebral canal

vertebral fractures

post op. chek in lateral vision. reconstructions of the vertebral body with titanium support and bone trasplant

vertebral fractures

post op check in anterus posterior

        

          2. post-traumatic deformities,

  3. para-quadriplegic patients (spinal          problems, Heterotopic Ossifications……) ,

  4. degenerative pathologies :

Diagnosis of "discogenic pain",

Herniated lumbar and cervical disc pathology,

Degenerative disc desease,

 

Spondylolisthesis,    

 

"Failed Back Syndrome"

 

 

** From 1998 Disc Prosthesis was applied in rigid selected cases with good results.

                               

 

5. Congenital, Juvenile and Adult Scoliosis/Kyphosis correction with anterior or posterior approach.

** We prefer short anterior fusion as in "preventive surgery" in the structural area of deformity in order to realigne the spine.

 

                   

 

6- Spinal Multidisciplinar Tumor Treatments (Vertebrectomy).

                   

7- Specific Treatments for different Cervical Pathologies

 

 

2500/3000 patients are seen each year in the Department.

Surgical activity is divided into 2 Categories : Major Surgeries (traumas, scoliosis, vertebrectomy, etc..... ) and Minor Surgeries            ( herniated disc , stenosis without stabilization etc...).

We use different types of stabilization :

 MOSS- MIAMI SYSTEM DEPUY - JOHNSON & JOHNSON

FOR SPINE SYSTEM - PERMEDICA ITALIA             ( Innovative Italian Instrumentation ) – Merate (Lecco ) Italy.
