fusion surgery

Fusion surgery is a medical procedure used to join two or more vertebrae in the spine, providing stability and relieving pain caused by conditions like degenerative disc disease or injury. The surgeon removes damaged disc material and then permanently fuses the bones using grafts, screws, or rods. Over time, these bones grow together into a solid piece, preventing movement at that segment. The goal is to reduce pain, improve stability, and prevent further damage. While it limits movement at the fused segment, the procedure aims to restore function and quality of life.
