Spinal fusion (or spondylodesis or arthrodesis or spondylosyndesis) is a neurosurgical or orthopedic surgical technique to treat and cure lower back pain arising due to a gap within the vertebrates. The bone graft either from the patient bones (a small section of pelvic bone is removed) or synthetic source or allograft (another person of same cell type) is placed at the vertebral segment using:
Internal fixation-once the bone graft is taken place surgeon uses plates, screws and rods to keep the spine immobile. Biological fixation- natural response of normal healing process is used to create bone fusion This particular procedure (spinal fusion) although can be performed at any level in the spine but it is not free from any complications (blood clot, infection etc) a proper consultation with surgeon is advised.
