Innovative Fusion Treatment
Traditional spinal fusion is a surgical technique in which one or more of the vertebrae of the spine are united or fused together which means that motion will no longer occur between them. The concept of spinal fusion is similar to that of welding metal. Traditional spinal fusion surgery, however, does not weld the vertebrae during the operation. During spinal fusion procedures bone grafts are placed around the spine. The body then heals the grafts over several months - like healing a fracture - which joins the vertebrae together.
