Car AccidentAdded:
Hey Dr. Kim, my friend got into a car accident and his spine is destroyed.
Doctors recommended a fusion. Is that what you would recommend? That is such a loaded question because it totally depends on what the injury is. And by the way, most injuries get better without surgery. So operating on everything that is injured is not a great idea. If you have an injury and you have pain, it is so important to know exactly what anatomic structure got injured. The key to a successful surgery is having the correct diagnosis. Cuz if you do perfect surgery on the wrong diagnosis, it generally doesn't work out so well. So make sure that whatever you do, everyone has a very good idea of exactly where the injury is anatomically if you're considering surgery.
