During this procedure, a surgeon connects two or more vertebrae using bone grafts, rods, screws, or cages to form a solid bone mass. Fusing a spine in this way can effectively treat conditions like degenerative disc disease or spondylolisthesis, but as with all surgeries, there are some potential risks and limitations.
