| spinal fusion |
An invasive surgery to induce new bone growth into the space between the transverse processes or the vertebral bodies which attemps to resrict motion between the vertebrae. Because joints are made to move, these surgeries have a high rate of failure leading to more problems as a result of damage and scar tissue from the surgery itself.
