A successful surgery performed by Dr. Kropf and PA-C Diana on a 68 year old male patient who was experiencing pain in the right hip, low back, and numbness into his feet. This procedure is called Posterior Spinal Fusion with Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion. To find out more about this procedure, please visit our website MkSpinesurgery.com

Scoliosis is a side to side curvature of the spine (measured in degrees). Scoliosis can be present during adolescence (1-3/1000 people) usually in females between 11-17 years of age. Although causation is partially genetic, the exact cause is unclear and is called Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS). Typically, this curvature of the spine does not cause pain but can present with one shoulder being higher than other, waist asymmetry (one hip is more prominent than the other)..., torso shifted off to one side, or a hump or rib prominence in the upper back. If deformity increases and back nerve pain continues or increases over time, spinal fusion and correction of the deformity maybe the best option. #spine #health #medical #surgeon #mobility #spinesurgery #spinesurgeon #spinemobility #spinalfusion #discreplacement #artificialdiscreplacement #cedarssinai #losangeles #spine #arthroplasty #spinaldisorders #beverlyhills #orangecounty #doctor #doctorwho #spine #drkropf #spinesurgery #spinehealth #health #fitnessmotivation #fitnesslife #healthy #gym #back #myhealthyspine #physicianassistant #scoliosis #cervicaldischerniation #scoliosis
