@dimdaman While they can be used to immobilize a spine segment, they don't always have to. The rods pass through pedicle screws which anchors them to the spine. The screws are usually polyaxial, allowing for movement.
-
So with the rods in the spine, the spine is locked in that position, the person loses flexibility in the spine?

@Dancingbob93 I know just how you feel. I had it too and my body rejected it. This was on 2004. I'm going back to have it again, i haven't been able to work since then. Just hope this time it goes well. I wish i hadn't had it done. I was fine as i was but thought i would feel better with a more straighter spine.

@Dancingbob93 Wow, thank you for posting this. I will have a surgery on my back very soon on 5/2/2011 because of kyphosis, a disorder in which on spinal disk is oddly bent causing my whole back to lean forward and the only solution was surgery with rods and screws. My question is, what back disease did you have to get this surgery? im afraid that my surgery will be similiar to you problem but as you know, not all diseases are the same...thanks again.

Had this surgery on December 7th 2009. It ruined my life. My body is rejecting the hardware and it gets infected all the time. When it gets infected they have to go in and wash the metal out. I am getting them removed Dec. 13. The hardware also rubs on my muscles causing terrible pain. I have been on narcotics for a year and I'm only 17. Don't get this surgery!
