Article Synopsis
- Spine disorders are common among fighter pilots, and returning them to flying duty is crucial due to the investment in their training.
- A study looked at 14 Spanish Air Force pilots who had spinal surgery, with most receiving vertebral fusion and a couple undergoing discectomy.
- All pilots successfully returned to flying after their procedures, suggesting that the surgical methods used are effective, but more research is needed due to the small sample size.
