Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently connects two or more vertebrae in the spine, eliminating motion between them. This procedure is designed to stop the pain caused by abnormal motion of the vertebrae by fusing them into one solid bone.
Our spine specialists use advanced fusion techniques and technology to treat a wide range of spinal conditions, providing long-term stability and pain relief for patients who haven't found success with conservative treatments.
Comprehensive information about spinal fusion surgery procedures, techniques, and recovery.
Spinal fusion surgery involves placing bone graft material between vertebrae to promote bone growth that eventually fuses them together. Metal hardware (rods, screws, plates) is often used to hold the vertebrae in place while the fusion heals.
General anesthesia with careful positioning for optimal spinal access
Incision made based on spinal level and surgical technique chosen
Bone surfaces prepared to encourage fusion, disc material removed if needed
Bone graft material placed between vertebrae to stimulate fusion
Metal hardware placed to stabilize spine during fusion healing
Incision closed, patient transferred to recovery for monitoring
Various fusion techniques are available, each suited for specific spinal conditions and locations. Our surgeons select the most appropriate technique based on your specific needs.
Approach: Through the back
Best for: Lumbar degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis
Advantages: Direct nerve decompression, good fusion rates
Approach: Through abdomen
Best for: Lumbar disc degeneration, deformity correction
Advantages: Large graft placement, better lordosis restoration
Approach: Through back, angled approach
Best for: Nerve compression, spinal instability
Advantages: Less nerve retraction, single approach
Approach: Through the side
Best for: Degenerative conditions, scoliosis
Advantages: Minimal muscle damage, quick recovery
Approach: Through front of neck
Best for: Cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis
Advantages: Direct disc removal, excellent outcomes
Approach: Through back of neck
Best for: Cervical instability, fractures, deformities
Advantages: Strong fixation, multiple level capability
Recovery from spinal fusion is a gradual process that requires patience and commitment to rehabilitation. The fusion process typically takes 3-6 months to become solid, with full recovery taking 6-12 months or longer.
Spinal fusion is recommended for various conditions where spinal stability is compromised or abnormal motion causes pain. Our specialists carefully evaluate each patient to determine if fusion is the appropriate treatment.
Spinal fusion has proven long-term success rates:
For some conditions, motion-preserving alternatives may be considered:
