Pedicle screw fixation is a surgical procedure used to stabilize the spine. During the procedure, screws are inserted into the pedicle bones of the vertebrae to provide a stable foundation for the spine.
Often, pedicle screws are used to fix a bone graft to the spine. The screws and rods are left in the patient unless they begin to cause pain. Patients often report significant improvement or elimination of their pain after the procedure.
