Lumbar Spinal Fusion

Lumbar spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that aims to stabilize the lower back (lumbar) region of the spine. During the surgery, the surgeon connects two or more vertebrae together using bone grafts or metal hardware, such as plates or screws. This fusion helps eliminate painful movement between the bones and can alleviate pain caused by conditions like herniated discs or spinal instability. The goal is to improve stability and reduce discomfort, allowing patients to regain mobility and improve their quality of life following recovery.
