Herniated Disc Surgery on Olympic Gymnast

Jan 23

Posted by Back Pain editor in Herniated Disc | No Comments


Scott is one of the top gymnasts in the world. He suffered a herniated disc in a training accident. He went to Dr. Delamarter who rebuilt his back with the pedicle screw, which is sometimes used as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery, it provides a means of gripping a spinal segment. The screws themselves do not fixate the spinal segment, but act as firm anchor points that can then be connected with a rod. The screws are placed at two or three consecutive spine segments (eg lumbar segment 4 and 5) and then a short rod is used to connect the screws. This construct prevents motion at the segments that are being fused. The treatment allowed Scott to compete for the next Olympics within one year.
