Watson-Jones redressing is a surgical procedure used to correct spinal deformities. It was developed by British orthopedic surgeon Robert Watson-Jones in the 1960s and has become one of the most common spinal correction techniques in the world.
The procedure involves removing part of the vertebrae and installing metal structures to correct the curvature of the spine. During surgery, the surgeon removes excess tissue, such as muscles and ligaments, that are interfering with the normal function of the spine. He then installs metal structures that help realign the spine and restore its normal shape.
Watson-Jones reduction can be used to treat various types of spinal curvatures such as scoliosis, kyphosis and lordosis. However, it is not suitable for all patients and should only be performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons to avoid possible complications.
In general, Watson-Jones redressing is an effective and safe method for correcting spinal deformities, which allows the patient to return normal spinal function and improve the quality of life.
Spinal diseases often develop without symptoms in the early stages of their development, and to combat them, doctors often prescribe treatment much later than it is necessary to begin treating the pathology. This is especially true for spinal diseases in children, since their body does not have sufficient experience in resisting pathological processes. But in order to prevent complications in the form of improper formation of bone and bones of the developing spine, it is very important to carry out a complete
