Spinal Fusion Revision

Spinal fusion revision is a critical aspect of scoliosis care for patients who have undergone previous surgical interventions. While spinal fusion is often effective in correcting major deformities, complications or continued progression of curvature may necessitate revision surgery. The importance of spinal fusion revision lies in its potential to relieve symptoms, improve spinal alignment, and enhance overall quality of life. Surgical revisions may also address complications such as hardware failure, infection, or adjacent segment disease—conditions that can arise over time as the spine ages. By closely monitoring patients and recognizing the need for revision early, specialists can ensure that individuals continue to live full, active lives despite the challenges posed by scoliosis.
