Occipito-Cervical Fixation (OC Fusion)
Occipito-Cervical Fixation (OC Fusion): Restoring Stability to the Upper Spine
Occipito-Cervical Fixation (OC Fusion) with an intervertebral spacer is a specialized surgical procedure used to stabilize the junction between the skull (occiput) and the upper cervical spine. This treatment is often necessary for patients with traumatic injuries, degenerative conditions, tumors, or congenital abnormalities affecting the upper spine. By securing the bones with implants and promoting fusion, OC Fusion restores stability and prevents excessive movement that can cause pain and neurological issues.
Advantages of Occipito-Cervical Fixation
- Restores Stability – Strengthens the connection between the skull and upper cervical spine.
- Reduces Pain – Helps alleviate severe neck pain and nerve-related symptoms.
- Prevents Spinal Cord Compression – Protects the nervous system from further damage.
- Improves Head and Neck Support – Enhances posture and structural integrity.
- Long-Term Solution – Promotes spinal fusion for lasting relief and function.
