Most Common Diagnoses Associated With The Need For Spinal Fusion: Degenerative disc disease (DDD) (disc degeneration)— often causes weakness, numbness and pain. DDD is age-related and is when one or more of the discs between the vertebrae of the spinal column breaks down or deteriorates. DDD is not a true disease but develops with aging.
Pseudoarthrosis — this is referred to as non-union and means ‘false joint’. This is the result of a failed spinal fusion. Radiculopathy— referred to as pinched nerve in the spine. Myelopathy— is a very serious condition and can cause permanent spinal cord injury. Myelopathy is caused from severe pressure on the spinal cord from spinal stenosis, ...
Neurogenic claudication— common symptom of lumbar spinal stenosis. The stenosis is causing impingement or inflammation of the nerves emanating from the spinal cord. These are just the most common causes of spinal surgery/fusions.
Scoliosis— a side-to-side curva ture of the spine. In adults this is most commonly due to deterioration of facet joints that cause the spine bones to tilt and shift to one side.
Herniated disk/slipped disk/ruptured disk— occurs when the gel-like center of a disc ruptures through a weak area in the tough outer wall, similar to the filling being squeezed out of a jelly doughnut. When the disk is herniated it can irritate nerves that result in pain, numbness or weakness of the arm/leg. Some people that have herniated disks experience no pain and is oftentimes an incidental finding during radiology testing.
Spondylolisthesis — this is a condition when one of the vertebrae slip out of normal position and onto the vertebra below it. This slippage may cause the bone to press on a nerve. There are many types of spondylolisthesis, but the most common are congenital (present at birth), isthmic (results from spondylosis) and degenerative (most common form due to aging after 40).
Spinal stenosis— narrowing of the spinal and nerve root canals. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lumbar and cervical spine. The narrowing causes pressure on the nerves throughout the spine. Most spinal stenosis diagnoses occur due to something happening to narrow the spine, but can be due to being born with a small spinal canal (not common).
