A member asked:
What do you suggest if i am 17 yrs old and have been put in for spinal fusion and want to know what to expect after the operations.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal fusion: Spinal fusion in a 17 year old is quite rare unless you were born with a birth injury or congenital problem. There are many questions you should ask about especially what are the results expected, potential limitations in the movement of the lower spine in the sense of bending and lifting.
