What Is Spinal Fusion Surgery in Georgia and When Is it Needed?

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae in the spine together. The vertebrae are the individual bones that make up the spinal column. They are separated by discs, which act as cushions and shock absorbers. Spinal fusion is typically used to treat conditions that cause pain, instability, or deformity of the spine.

Here are some of the most common accident injuries that may require spinal fusion surgery:

• Spondylolisthesis: This is a condition in which one vertebra slips forward onto the vertebra below it.
• Fractures: Spinal fusion can be used to repair fractures of the vertebrae.

Spinal fusion surgery is a major surgery, and it is not a decision that should be taken lightly. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the surgery with your doctor before making a decision.

Is Spinal Fusion A Permanent Injury?

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that permanently joins two or more vertebrae in your spine. While the surgery itself is permanent, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have a permanent injury. The outcome depends on several factors, including:

• The reason for the surgery: Spinal fusion is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis. The severity of your condition and how much pain it causes will influence how much you benefit from the surgery.
• The location and extent of the fusion: The location of the fused vertebrae can affect your range of motion and flexibility. The more vertebrae that are fused, the less mobile your spine will be in that area.
• Your individual healing process: Everyone heals at their own pace. Some people may regain full mobility after spinal fusion, while others may have some permanent limitations.

That being said, there are some potential permanent changes you can experience after spinal fusion, such as:

• Loss of mobility and flexibility: The fused vertebrae will no longer be able to move independently. This can limit your ability to bend, twist, and turn your spine.
• Increased stress on other parts of your spine: The fused area of your spine will be more rigid, which can put additional stress on the vertebrae above and below the fusion. This can lead to pain and arthritis in these areas over time.
• Pain at the fusion site: Some people experience ongoing pain at the site of the fusion. This can be caused by scar tissue, irritation of the nerves, or problems with the hardware used in the surgery.

If you’ve been in an accident, either at work or on your own time, that requires spinal fusion surgery, making sure you’re compensated for not only immediate bills and care – but also future care, costs, and impacts is extremely important. Talking with one of our highly qualified spinal fusion accident specialists can make a big impact on the outcome of your case.
