Luque segmental instrumentation uses a device called L-rods. These L-rods are bent to look like natural curves of a healthy back. They are also very strong. Most people who have this surgery are in the hospital for about one week. Once discharged, they are instructed to limit their activity for several months.
Complete healing takes one to two years.
Most people do not require a brace during this time. All rights reserved. Information in this document is subject to change without notice.
