Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure performed to permanently join two or more vertebrae. The goal of spinal fusion is to stabilize the spine, reduce pain, and prevent movement between the affected vertebrae.
It is commonly used to treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities (such as scoliosis or kyphosis), spinal fractures, and spinal instability. Spinal fusion is a highly effective treatment for stabilizing the spine and relieving symptoms associated with spinal instability or deformity.
