SUCCESSFUL SPINE DECOMPRESSION & amp; FIXATION Review given by Neeti Bambardekar (Patient's Daughter) My Father, age 62, a Diabetic patient was suffering from severe back pain and had difficulty in standing and great difficulty in walking. He was unable to walk for more than a few steps. We consulted Dr. Girish Autade orthopedic and spine surgeon. After a complete checkup and assessment Doctor advised us to get an MRI done and diagnosed Spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis with cord compression. Spine surgery was advised in which he said the decompression would be done along with spinal fixation which meant the insertion of screws in his backbone vertebrae along with rods. Prabodh is a businessman owning a cold storage manufacturing unit. For installation, he has to travel to various places and is also a very positive-minded personality. He accepted the surgical challenge immediately. He was successfully operated on March 22, he started going to the factory within a week for some time. Full-fledged work started in a month's time. Now he is completely cured within six months of his back problem. We are happy with the treatment given and the hospital staff too.
