What is a Spinal Fusion?

In spinal fusion surgery, Dr. Sina Rajamand uses donor bone or bone-like artificial material to join vertebrae, securing them with surgical hardware. This process promotes natural bone growth to permanently fuse the vertebrae, enhancing stability and strength.

Dr. Rajamand may recommend spinal fusion for conditions such as:

Spinal deformities
Spinal weakness or instability (due to trauma or degenerative conditions)
Herniated disc or disc removal

Neurosurgical Fusion for Neck or Back Pain

Neurosurgical spinal fusion is often recommended when the specific cause of neck or back pain is accurately identified through diagnostic imaging like x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. This procedure is typically necessary when spinal repairs involve removing parts of a vertebra or disc, which can weaken the spine.

Dr. Sina Rajamand, a specialist in minimally-invasive neurosurgery, frequently combines spinal fusion with other procedures using advanced techniques. This approach minimizes patient risks and accelerates recovery, ensuring a better overall experience. During your consultation, Dr. Rajamand will discuss the minimally-invasive techniques used in spinal fusion and assess if this procedure is right for you.

Spinal fusion is generally not recommended if the source of pain is unclear or if there is no underlying trauma or degenerative condition justifying the procedure. In such cases, alternative treatments will be considered.
