Spinal Fusion Surgery
Spinal fusion surgery is performed in order to relieve joint pain caused by abnormal movement in a vertebral segment. The surgery can be performed with the use of a bone graft, which allows tissue to grow between vertebral elements, or by means of a boney fusion, which replaces a joint with bone and helps to stop the movement at the joint segment. These procedures may be complimented by the use of fixation devises including pedicle screws an interbody fusion cages.
