Surgery: What to Expect – Spinal Fusion

 

Traditionally, a surgical procedure called a spinal fusion has been used to treat degenerative conditions in the spine. Using bone grafts and instrumentation such as metal plates and screws, this procedure fuses, or creates a bond between, two or more adjacent vertebrae. This aims to stabilise the spine and provide pain relief.
