Postsurgical lordosis - what does this mean
Postsurgical lordosis is a condition that occurs when the spine curves abnormally after surgery, such as a spinal fusion or laminectomy. it can be caused by scar tissue formation, muscle spasms, or the incorrect placement of surgical hardware. it can also be caused by the patient's own body weight, as the spine is unable to support the weight after surgery.
What happens during the disease - postsurgical lordosis
Postsurgical lordosis is a condition that occurs when the spine curves excessively in the lumbar region after surgery. this can be caused by a number of factors, including the surgical procedure itself, poor positioning during surgery, or incorrect healing of the tissues. in addition, weakened abdominal muscles due to the surgery can contribute to the development of lordosis. postsurgical lordosis can lead to pain, instability, and difficulty with activities of daily living.
