Spinal Fusion

A surgical procedure to stabilize the spine by joining vertebrae together.

What is a Spinal Fusion?

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae to eliminate motion between them, providing stability. It is used to treat conditions like spinal instability, deformities, or severe degenerative diseases. The procedure often involves bone grafts or metal implants to ensure a solid fusion.
