About This Procedure:
In spine surgery, bones in the spine are joined together with metal screws, plates, and rods. This surgery stops movement between bones in the spine that can cause back pain. The pain results from the stretching of nerves, ligaments, and muscles due to too much movement in the backbone.
Spine fusion is a very expensive surgery that includes a hospital stay; the price varies by many thousands of dollars depending upon the treating hospital. This surgery is not common -- it is considered for people who still have back pain after trying other treatments.
