Lumbar Spine Fusion for Pain Relief.

The provider performs an arthrodesis, also known as spinal fusion, in the lumbar spine, or lower back, to permanently join two vertebrae, the interlocking bones of the spine. The provider excises the lamina and disk material and applies bone graft between the disks to fuse them. The procedure helps to alleviate persistent pain caused by various spinal conditions, including herniated intervertebral disks, stenosis, or spinal injuries. The provider performs this procedure on an additional level after completing an initial arthrodesis in the same encounter. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
