Posterior Spinal Fusion

Posterior spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to stabilize the spine by joining two or more vertebrae together from the back (posterior). Surgeons place bone grafts between the affected vertebrae and secure them with metal rods, screws, or hooks. Over time, the bone grafts fuse the bones into a solid, stable segment, which can help reduce pain, improve alignment, and prevent further spinal deterioration. This procedure is often used to treat scoliosis, spinal fractures, or degenerative conditions that cause instability or deformity.
