Spinal Fusion in Tamil Nadu

Will fusion limit my mobility permanently?

The fused segment loses some flexibility, but most patients adapt well since adjacent segments compensate, and overall function usually improves due to reduced pain and instability.

How long does it take the bone to fuse?

Bone fusion typically takes 6-12 months to fully solidify, though pain relief and functional improvement are often noticed much earlier.

What is adjacent segment disease?

This is extra stress placed on the spinal segments next to the fusion, which over years can lead to degeneration there — your surgeon can discuss long-term monitoring for this.

Is minimally invasive fusion better than open surgery?

Minimally invasive techniques generally mean less muscle damage and faster initial recovery, but suitability depends on your specific spinal condition.

What's the success rate for pain relief?

Most well-selected patients experience meaningful pain relief and improved stability, though outcomes depend on correct patient selection and surgical technique.
