How long does it usually take to recover from spinal fusion surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How extensive?: Full bone healing can take up to a year, depending on the technique and materials used. Recovery from surgery can be in a few months for smaller, less extensive operations. However, long segment fusions can take much longer to recover from.
