spinal fusion operation
Spinal fusion is a surgical technique used to join two or more vertebrae in the spine into a single structure. Its main function is to eliminate motion between the vertebrae, which can help to reduce pain caused by spinal conditions. Technological features of spinal fusion include advanced imaging techniques, intraoperative navigation systems, and biocompatible materials used for the fusion. These features enhance the precision of the surgery and improve patient outcomes. Applications of spinal fusion are diverse, ranging from the treatment of degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis to the correction of spinal fractures and deformities like scoliosis.
