5th International Conference on Arthroplasty and Orthopedic Surgery

Spinal surgery has evolved with innovations like minimally invasive techniques and robotic-assisted procedures, which reduce complications and improve recovery times. Recent developments in spine biomechanics have led to the creation of advanced implants that better mimic the natural spinal movement, leading to improved patient satisfaction. The use of intraoperative navigation and 3D imaging has significantly improved the precision of spinal fusion and deformity correction surgeries. Enhanced understanding of degenerative spinal diseases has facilitated the development of biologic treatments, such as stem cell therapy, to promote spinal regeneration. Robotics and AI are becoming integral in spine surgery for optimizing surgical planning. Spinal disorders, ranging from degenerative conditions like spinal stenosis and disc herniation to scoliosis and vertebral fractures, continue to challenge clinicians with a variety of treatment options. Diagnosis is heavily reliant on advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT scans, and X-rays, which provide clear visualization of structural abnormalities and assist in treatment planning. Minimally invasive spinal surgeries (MISS) have revolutionized the management of conditions like lumbar herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and spondylolisthesis, offering faster recovery times and reduced postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgeries. For more complex spinal disorders, including spinal deformities and scoliosis, robotic-assisted surgery and computer-guided navigation have significantly improved the precision of instrumentation placement, minimizing complications and improving long-term outcomes. In terms of non-surgical treatments, physical therapy and epidural steroid injections are common options for managing pain and improving mobility. Spinal fusion remains the cornerstone treatment for conditions involving spinal instability or degenerative disc disease, with ongoing advancements in biologic agents like stem cells and growth factors aimed at improving fusion rates. New research is also focusing on regenerative therapies and gene therapies for spinal discs, which may potentially lead to non-surgical approaches in the future.
