Interbody Fusion

Interbody fusion is a surgical procedure used to stabilize and reduce pain in the spine. It involves removing damaged or problematic disc material between two vertebrae and replacing it with a bone graft or implant. This promotes new bone growth, fusing the vertebrae together over time. The goal is to create a solid, stable segment of the spine, which can help relieve nerve pressure, improve function, and decrease pain caused by spinal conditions like herniated discs or degenerative disc disease. The procedure often uses special cages or implants to support healing and ensure proper alignment.
