Lumbar spine fusion, artwork C016 / 6993
Lumbar spine fusion. Artwork of pins and screws inserted into a patients lumbar spine in a case of spinal fusion. The pins hold together the patients vertebrae. This may be done in cases of fractured vertebrae to allow them to heal, but in this case it is being done because the spine is degenerating. Degenerative disc disease is where the intervertebral discs have degenerated. Removing these and allowing the vertebrae to fuse reduces mobility but also removes the pain. Screws and pins are used to fix the vertebrae in place while they fuse

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating artwork titled "Lumbar Spine Fusion" depicts a crucial surgical procedure where pins and screws are skillfully inserted into a patient's lumbar spine. This intricate technique is employed not only to heal fractured vertebrae but also to address the degeneration of the spine, known as degenerative disc disease. In this mesmerizing print, set against a striking black background, we witness the fusion of vertebrae through the use of these innovative medical devices. The pins serve as steadfast connectors, holding together the patient's vertebrae while they mend and ultimately reduce pain. This illustration showcases cutting-edge technology in medicine and surgery, highlighting how advancements in joint treatment can alleviate discomfort and improve overall well-being. By removing deteriorated intervertebral discs and allowing fusion between adjacent bones, mobility may be compromised but pain is effectively eliminated. Immersed in an array of scientific terms such as arthrology, orthopaedics, and spinal anatomy, this artwork delves into the realm of skeletal disorders with precision. It emphasizes both the abnormality within the vertebral column caused by degenerative disc disease and its rectification through surgical intervention. Created by D & L GRAPHICS for Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking print offers insight into one aspect of modern healthcare that aims to immobilize unhealthy conditions within our bodies while enhancing quality of life.
