What is Spinal fusion?
Spinal fusion is surgery to correct problems in the spine bones (vertebrae). The surgery stabilizes the back by permanently placing certain bones in the spine together.
Fusing means two bones are permanently placed together so that movement between them can no longer occur.
Spinal fusion is usually done along with other surgical procedures of the spine, such as a diskectomy .
Alternative Names:
Vertebral interbody fusion; Posterior spinal fusion; Arthrodesis; Anterior spinal fusion
