What Are the Dangers of Spinal Fusion?
When a person undergoes a spinal fusion, the doctor joins two of the spine’s vertebrae together. After the spinal fusion, no movement occurs between these two spinal vertebrae. The MayoClinic.com explains that a spinal fusion corrects certain spinal conditions, such as a broken vertebrae, a herniated disk or spinal deformities, such as scoliosis. Though a spinal fusion can help with particular spinal problems, dangers do exist.
