One of the most common procedures performed in spine surgery is lumbar fusion. Many disease processes affect the spine as a result of the motion that occurs between each bony segment. In the normal spine, each segment has 6 different motion directions (6 degrees of motion) and when there is dysfunction, pain is produces which leads to dysfunction. The primary structure allowing this motion is the intervertebral disc. The biomechanical structure of the disc is so complicated that current medical technology can not duplicate the disc and it can not be replaced by any synthetic material. For this reason, the most reliable replacement is placement of bone in place of the disc which fuses the segments and eliminates the motion at that segment which will ultimately resolve the pain. The downfall of fusion is loss of motion in that segment (which may be very small for each fused level) and increased stress in the adjacent levels. Common diagnosis that fusion surgery is used for is internal disc derangement, discogenic pain, spondylolysis, spondylolisthesis, post-laminectomy spondylolisthesis, spinal deformity like scoliosis and kyphosis, and others.

Common to all fusion surgeries is the use of bone graft which can be obtained from several different sources. The discussion of bone grafting is an important one since controversy exists regarding this issue which includes the source of the graft as well as the techniques for its use.. Even though many new advances have been made in recent years, harvesting the patients own bone from areas of unused bone is still the best accepted technique. The most common area that bone is taken from is the pelvis. Since the pelvis has areas of bone that are unused it is a good source for bone graft. Another area is the Fibula (little shin bone).

Ice Bath Challenge | Whitney

Whitney has been working hard in the gym all summer. She has a few joints that are getting a little sore. In addition to cutting back on her workouts, Whitney is doing a little cold therapy. Here Whitney tests her endurance and tolerance in the ice cold water for 7 minutes!\r
\r
The general theory behind this cold therapy is that the exposure to cold helps to combat the microtrauma (small tears) in muscle fibers and resultant soreness caused by intense or repetitive exercise. The ice bath is thought to constrict blood vessels, flush waste products and reduce swelling and tissue breakdown.\r
