Title: WHAT IS SPINAL FUSION SURGERY - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Spinal fusion is a surgical operation that is used to treat abnormalities in the small bones within the spine (vertebrae). It is like a "welding" process of bones. The basic concept of spine fusion surgery is to fuse (combine) two or more vertebrae together to form a single bone. This is done to either cure painful movements or restore spinal stability. Once the doctor is able to diagnose the source of the patient’s pain, they perform spine surgery. X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and computed tomography (CT) scans are used as the imaging tools in spine fusion surgery. – PowerPoint PPT presentation
