A member asked:
How long does it take for a cervical fusion to completely heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cervical fusion: Cervical fusions have a very high fusion rate (greater than 95%) if there is a cage/bone graft and titanium plate. The fusion rates range from 3 months to 1 year. Patients who smoke, are elderly, suffer from osteoporosis, diabetes, and have had multiple levels fused may take longer to heal.
