Spinal fusion is a procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae in your spine, preventing them from moving.
Techniques for spinal fusion are aimed to mirror the natural healing process of damaged bones. During spinal fusion, your surgeon fills the area between two spinal vertebrae with bone or a bonelike substance. To keep the vertebrae together until they recover into one solid unit, metal plates, screws, and rods may be utilised.
To increase stability, rectify a deformity, or relieve discomfort, spinal fusion permanently joins two or more vertebrae in your spine.
