bone fusion

Bone fusion is a medical procedure that joins two or more bones together to become one solid piece. This process is often used to stabilize the spine or joints damaged by injury or disease. During the procedure, a surgeon removes damaged tissue and places bone grafts or synthetic materials between the bones. Over time, the body naturally grows new bone to bridge the gap, securely fusing the bones. This helps reduce pain, improve stability, and restore function. Bone fusion can be a crucial treatment for conditions like spinal instability, fractures, or joint degeneration.
