Spinal fusion involves fusing two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine and reduce pain. It is typically suitable for individuals with severe back pain and/or dysfunction caused by injury, arthritis, or other conditions.
Spinal fusion is a relatively high-risk procedure, and there are some potential complications, such as bleeding, infection, and nerve damage. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure with your surgeon before making a decision.
Spinal fusion is usually performed on an inpatient basis, meaning you will need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery. The average hospital stay for spinal fusion surgery is 3-5 days.
Before spinal fusion surgery, your surgeon will give you specific instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. This may include losing weight, quitting smoking, and taking certain medications.
After spinal fusion surgery, you will need to wear a brace for several weeks to support your spine. You will also need to do physical therapy to help you regain range of motion and strength in your back.
The average recovery time for spinal fusion surgery is 3-6 months. During this time, you will need to avoid strenuous activity and follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully.
