Cervical Fusion Surgery that's Smaller than a Dime?
Patients come to me all the time suffering from unbearable pain and numbness in their neck, arms, and hands. Many of these patients require surgery to alleviate their symptoms but are also uneasy about having surgery.
When I inform them that I can offer cervical fusion surgery through a 1cm tube (picture a milkshake straw), they don't always believe it at first. But it's true. By using the latest, technology, I can perform single or multi-level posterior cervical fusion surgery through just two tiny incisions on the back of the neck.
This less invasive technique requires little muscle dissection and has been used in over 13K cases since 2013. Patients like how this approach can be cosmetically favorable with only small incisions below the collar line on the back of the neck. They also like that it is designed to offer benefits like faster recovery times, reduced pain, and less scarring.
If you or a loved one is considering surgery for neck and arm pain, you deserve to learn about the innovative treatments at The Spine Center at Joint Implant Surgeons of Florida.
