Arthritis, In Football Players & Female Body Builders Up 79%
increase in Arthritis, which requires surgery. Great news Mazor XTM spinal robotic technology. Is Changing how Doctors treat Arthritis Patients.
Our focus is Rheumatoid arthritis (RA.) R.A. Affects the synovial membrane encapsulating the joints and causes swelling, which, in turn, causes severe joint pain and deformity.

causes Spondylitisis. Spondylitisis.is the inflammation of the spinal column. Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that, over time, can cause some of the small bones in your spine (vertebrae)
to fuse. This fusing makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched-forward posture. If ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply.

This fusing makes the spine less flexible and can result in a hunched-forward posture. If ribs are affected, it can be difficult to breathe deeply.
Ankylosing spondylitis affects men more often than women. Signs and symptoms typically begin in early adulthood. Inflammation also can occur in other parts of your body — most commonly, your eyes.
Symptoms
Early signs and symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis might include pain and stiffness in your lower back and hips, especially in the morning and after periods of inactivity. Neck pain and fatigue also are common. Over time, symptoms might worsen, improve or stop at irregular intervals.
The area’s most commonly affected are:
- The joint between the base of your spine and your pelvis
- The vertebrae in your lower back
- The places where your tendons and ligaments attach to bones, mainly in your spine, but sometimes along the back of your heel
- The cartilage between your breastbone and ribs
- Your hip and shoulder joints

Robotics to the Rescue. How robotic spine surgery works. With conventional open spine surgery, the surgeon determines the ideal placement for screws, bone grafts and implants after
obtaining x-ray images of the area prior to the procedure. During the actual operation, they will draw on their experience, judgment and information from the x-ray images to place the materials.

During the actual operation, they will draw on their experience, judgment and information from the x-ray images to place the materials.
However, x-rays can only offer a limited picture, so there’s always a degree of risk involved. In addition, misplacement can lead to serious consequences for the patient such as persistent pain, restricted mobility and, in very rare cases, paralysis. Robotic spine surgery dramatically reduces some of these risks. It’s performed with the aid of a mechanical guidance system, which increases the safety and precision of among the most complex spinal procedures.

Robotic spine surgery can be a safe and efficient method for screw placement, which can potentially reduce the risk of screw malposition. Spine surgeons should be familiar with this technology and keep this technique in their armamentarium. Medtronic stock briefly edged into a buy zone Tuesday after the medical technology company topped Wall Street’s quarterly expectations and raised its full-year earnings outlook. On today’s stock market, shares of Medtronic (MDT) dipped a fraction, to 111.07. Medtronic stock briefly topped a buy point at 112.15
