The infographic titled "Spine Fusion Surgery" provides an in-depth look at spinal fusion, a surgical procedure designed to stabilize the spine by permanently joining two or more vertebrae. This procedure eliminates movement between vertebrae, reducing pain and improving spinal stability for patients with severe spinal conditions. Spinal fusion surgery is commonly recommended for conditions such as fractured vertebrae, spondylolisthesis (vertebral slippage), spinal deformities like scoliosis or kyphosis, spinal instability, and chronic pain that has not responded to non-surgical treatments.

By fusing vertebrae together, the surgery helps prevent excessive motion that can lead to pain and nerve irritation. Recovery varies depending on the surgical approach and the patient’s health. Hospital stays may range from a few days to longer periods, with minimally invasive techniques typically leading to faster recovery. Post-surgical care includes pain management, bracing, and physical therapy to restore function and mobility. The infographic highlights that spinal fusion is generally considered when other treatments have failed, making an individualized consultation essential.
