My spinal specialist said I need a fusion. Is that true? |

It depends. There are many different ways to treat the lumbar spine and not everyone agrees as to whether a patient should have a fusion or not. There are certain conditions that virtually everyone will agree should be fused. But there are many patients that some spine surgeons would fuse and others would not. There are also different ways to fuse for which there is again much debate. My best advice to you is to talk to several different spine surgeons and make an informed decision for yourself.
