Private HospitalDescription of Cervical Fusion:
Cervical fusion is a surgical procedure that joins bones located in the cervical spine, which may have been fractured or dislocated. It may also be used to treat problems that cause excessive pain from an infection or cancer.
- An anterior or posterior incision is made on the patient’s neck.
- The cervical fusion may be performed in the following ways:
- A bone graft can be used to connect adjacent vertebrae, which stimulates a new bone growth.
- Metal implants and metal plates can be used to hold and join the vertebrae.
- A complete vertebra can be taken out and the spine can be fused.
- The adjacent vertebrae can be fused by removing a spinal disc.
