Traditional Lumbar Fusion
Traditional lumbar fusion is a surgery procedure that stabilizes the lower spine by permanently joining two or more vertebrae using bone grafts and hardware like screws, rods, or cages. The surgery begins with imaging in the form of MRI or X-ray to identify the affected area. In the surgery, the removed damaged disc, spurs or cartilage are discarded, and the surgeon retains the bone graft, setting up the equipment to maintain vertebrae together. Within a few months, the graft heals and fuses with the bones, producing a solid section of the spine. The procedure can help decrease pain in the back, ease nerve symptoms and enhance spinal stability. Patients normally undergo a rehabilitation program after surgery, including physical therapy. Although it often improves the quality of life, there are risks like infection or nerve damage.
