Actually, the substance called platinum among the people is “TITANIUM”. It is a more robust and flexible element. It is compatible with MRI.
1-Who are platinum surgeries performed on?
It is performed to support the spine in cases of spinal fractures, lumbar slippage, or spinal collapses caused by tumor or infection, or if excess bone has been surgically removed due to narrow canal.
2- Are platinums harmful to the body? Is there any problem when having an MRI?:
Not platinum but actually titanium-weighted materials that do not cause any side effects in the body and can last a lifetime are used, and they are MR compatible. Their weight does not exceed 100-150 grams.
3-Why do people refrain from platinum surgeries?
These surgeries should definitely be performed by experts in this field
4-Who performs these surgeries?
This is the job of neurosurgery.
5-How many hours does it take, in how many days does the patient stand up?
3-4 hour surgeries. If a sinker is placed on his back, he walks the next day. It becomes well circulated in 1 week.
6-Can he return to normal life completely with this surgery?
These people can run, bend or jump if they want. So movements are never restricted. It is even stronger than before.
7-Are platinums removed?
No subtraction required. Because it is not harmful to the body. The purpose of wearing the sinkers is to carry the load of the spine, in other words to support it mechanically, in the 3-4 months that will pass until the bone fragments placed on the broken or collapsed vertebrae fuse. Once it boils, the load will be on the bone anyway, the sinkers will remain as an ornament in the background.
