When it comes to spine plates, size and placement are crucial.
After a patient with a previous spinal fusion suffered disc herniations and horrific headaches, I examined the previous surgeon’s work, only to realize the spine plate placement was slightly high. It might not seem like a big deal, but improper placement can lead to unexpected complications.
Explore this surgical case with me as I remove the existing plate, treat the disc herniations, and insert a new plate to optimize stability.
