The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated many things in society, back pain being one of them. With the change in lifestyles and improper work-from-home setups, the pandemic has made back pain worse for many. Additionally, it is extremely common to experience body aches and pains both during and after having contracted COVID-19. Back pain was already extremely common in society. According to research by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, about 80% of Americans experience lower back pain. This issue is so prevalent that every year, Americans spend about 50 billion dollars on healthcare specifically for back pain, according to the American Chiropractic Association.

To improve one’s spine health during this period of reduced physical activity, standing while working, stretching intermittently, and strengthening the core are all places to start. However, sometimes back pain is a sign of a more serious issue. In this case, a more intense solution, like surgery, would be needed. SAGICO has plenty of tools and products available for surgeons to use in various spine surgeries. These products are innovative and intentionally designed.

As one’s body ages, the bones and cartilage that make up their joints naturally wear and tear. When this happens in the spine, this wear and tear can affect the discs and vertebrae. For instance, most people’s spinal discs begin drying out and shrinking by the age of 40. Age also affects the exterior of the spinal discs, leading to cracks appearing and herniated discs. Both of these factors allow more bone-on-bone contact between the vertebrae, which can cause pain for the individual.

In the neck area specifically, the wear and tear of the spinal anatomy due to aging is known as cervical spondylosis. The cervical disc dehydrates and shrinks, and signs of osteoarthritis develop in the joints in the cervical spine. Such signs include a bony spur forming, the disc space narrowing, and the actual disc bulging. The disc space narrowing and bulging discs are particularly important because discs act as cushions between the vertebrae of the spine. Not only does this combination result in less support for the vertebrae, but the bulging discs can also sometimes press on the spinal cord and nerve roots as well. Sometimes, the pain from cervical spondylosis can require surgery. SAGICO has a wide range of products for surgeons to use in performing surgeries in the cervical spine to treat spondylosis. All of our products are designed for the efficiency of the surgeon and the safety of the patient.

If a patient is experiencing significant neck or arm pain, it could be due to nerve issues in the cervical spine. More than likely, this pain can be due to the presence of a herniated or degenerative disc. A disc refers to the rubbery pad between vertebrae. When the gel-like material of the disc bulges through the wall of the disc, the result is known as a herniated disc. A degenerative disc is when the disc naturally wears and tears over time and the joints are inflamed. In the case of either of these situations, the patient experiences pain because the discs are compressed and as a result, the nearby nerves are irritated.

To confirm the presence of a herniated or degenerative disc, the physician will order tests like an MRI or CT. Then, the physician will work with the patient to try and relieve this pain with physical therapy and medications. If neither of these approaches adequately treat the patient’s pain, the physician might suggest Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) surgery. ACDF surgery is the removal of a herniated or degenerative disc in the neck.

A neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon will perform surgery to remove the affected disc area, also known as an ACDF procedure. Firstly, the surgeon will cut out the damaged disc. To prevent the vertebrae from collapsing in the now empty area, the surgeon will insert a bone graft in the area. Over time, the bone graft will fuse with the bones in the surrounding area. To secure the area while this graft fuses and the area heals, the surgeon will attach the graft to the area with plates and screws. At SAGICO, we have many product options for surgeons to use in performing ACDF surgery, like innovative plates, screws, and implants. SAGICO products are all designed with the efficiency of the surgeon and the safety of the patient at the top of mind.

Oblique Lateral Interbody Fusion (OLIF) is a surgical technique used to treat degenerative spine disorders. Specifically, OLIF is a great option to treat back and leg back due to issues in the lumbar spine region. According to Healthworld.com, OLIF surgery should be seriously considered to treat over 80% of spinal problems. OLIF’s popularity as a treatment option can be due to lower rates of morbidity, decreased postoperative pain, and reduced operating time and hospital stay. This surgical technique lets surgeons treat this pain from an oblique lateral position. This position allows for a minimally invasive approach to surgery. Some argue this type of surgery is safer than other spinal surgeries because it requires a smaller incision and leads to less blood loss, shorter hospital stay, recovery, and use of analgesics. At SAGICO, we have many product options for surgeons to use in performing OLIF surgery. SAGICO products are all designed with the efficiency of the surgeon and the safety of the patient at the top of mind.

Anterior cervical plates are widely used for anterior cervical decompression and fusion for cervical spondylosis. Although fusion can be done without cervical plates, they have been shown to provide faster fusion success and better results long-term. Anterior plate fixation is especially beneficial in the instances of traumatic injuries, revision surgeries, and in the treatment of smokers. Since they were originally invented, anterior cervical plates have been revised many times and have undergone significant innovation. Cervical plates today are popular as either static or dynamic plates. Specifically, dynamic anterior cervical plates are designed to be rotationally dynamic, translationally dynamic, or both. Dynamic plates let the vertebral bodies settle and static ones are a good option for trauma. SAGICO offers many products that can be used for a successful decompression and fusion.
