Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure performed to permanently fuse together two or more painful bones (vertebra) in the spine so that there is no movement between them. The procedure is designed to mimic the normal healing process of broken bones and facilitates faster healing of the vertebra into a single, solid bone.

Bone or bone-like material is placed in the space between two spinal vertebras. Metal plates, screws and rods may be used to hold the vertebrae together, so they can heal into one solid unit.

Although fusion of spine will reduce the flexibility of spine but it does not limit the motion of spine a lot as it involves only small segments of the spine. The procedure may put additional stress and strain on the vertebrae above and below the fused portion, and may increase the rate of their degeneration.
