Lumbar Spinal Fusion NJ

Lumbar spinal fusion is a surgical technique that affixes two or several lumbar vertebrae together, thereby converting them into a single bone. This is accomplished with the help of some bones taken either from the patient or a donor, most commonly from another part of their body (autograft) or may involve the use of an added device such as screws, rods, and plates. Lumbar Spinal Fusion NJ is intended to obliterate motion in the involved vertebrae to enhance stability in the spine and reduce pain. In cases where other more conservative interventions such as physical therapy, pain medications, injections, or minimally invasive procedures failed to relieve the patient's condition, lumbar fusion is usually considered for the treatment of conditions such as spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal fracture.
