A herniated disc consists of tiny tears or cracks in the outer layer (annulus or capsule) of the disc. The jellylike material inside the disc (nucleus) may be forced out through the tears or cracks in the capsule, which causes the disc to bulge, break open (rupture), or break into fragments. This is causing severe and constant pain. The disc hernia can lead to a root compression provoking a quality of life degradation.

Vertebroplasty is a pain treatment for vertebral compression fractures that fail to respond to conventional medical therapy, such as minimal or no pain relief with analgesics or narcotic doses that are intolerable. A compression fracture occurs when pressure on a vertebra causes it to break or crack, often because of osteoporosis. Compression fractures are often extremely painful, and can cause abnormal spine curvature that leads to other serious health problems.

Χειρουργική επέμβαση που συνδέει μόνιμα δύο ή περισσότερους σπονδύλους στη σπονδυλική στήλη, εξαλείφοντας την κίνηση μεταξύ τους. Η σπονδυλοδεσία περιλαμβάνει τεχνικές σχεδιασμένες να μιμούνται τη φυσιολογική διαδικασία επούλωσης των σπασμένων οστών. Κατά τη διάρκεια της επέμβασης τοποθετούνται ειδικά υλικά ανάμεσα στους δύο σπονδύλους. Μεταλλικές πλάκες, βίδες και ράβδοι χρησιμοποιούνται για να συγκρατούν τους σπονδύλους μαζί,  ώστε να μπορούν να επουλωθούν σε μία στερεά μονάδα.
