Conditions Treated:

It addresses spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, and certain fractures.

Equipment Used:

Bone grafts, spinal implants, and surgical instruments are integral to fusion procedures.

Procedure:

Orthopedic surgeons stabilize the spine by fusing adjacent vertebrae, encouraging bone growth and eliminating motion.

Recovery Time:

Recovery duration varies but often involves a longer rehabilitation period.
