Additional information
This program offers advanced scoliosis correction using the innovative API Fix dynamic system combined with intraoperative 3D O-arm navigation, allowing highly precise spinal alignment while preserving mobility and reducing surgical trauma.
Unlike conventional spinal fusion, this approach is designed to correct deformity with a more targeted and less invasive technique, supporting faster recovery and improved postoperative flexibility.
Treatment is performed at Sheba hospital, ensuring access to cutting-edge technology and one of the most experienced multidisciplinary spine teams in Israel.
Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan after on-site evaluation, allowing surgeons to adapt the strategy to the exact spinal anatomy and curvature pattern.
The use of precision-guided technology and individualized planning contributes to a reduced risk of repeat procedures, which is a key advantage in complex spinal deformity correction.
