spinal fusion
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure used to correct problems with the vertebrae, the small bones of the spine. It involves joining two or more vertebrae together so they can heal into a single, solid bone. This is done to eliminate painful motion or to restore stability to the spine. This procedure can help relieve symptoms of many back conditions, including disc herniation, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, tumors or spinal instability.

Spinal fusion
Spinal fusion, also known as spondylodesis or spondylosyndesis, is a surgical technique used to join two or more vertebrae. Supplementary bone tissue, either from the patient or a donor, is used in conjunction with the body's natural bone growth processes to fuse the vertebrae. Fusing of the spine is used primarily to eliminate the pain caused by abnormal motion of the vertebrae by immobilizing the faulty vertebrae themselves, which is usually caused by degenerative conditions. However, spinal fusion is also the preferred way to treat most spinal deformities, specifically scoliosis and kyphosis.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
