Cervical spinal fusion is a surgery used to stabilize the cervical spine by permanently joining two or more bones in the neck. It is commonly performed to treat conditions such as herniated discs, spinal instability, degenerative disc disease, or fractures. During the surgery, the damaged disc or bone is removed, and a bone graft—sometimes supported by titanium plates or screws—is placed between the vertebrae to encourage bone growth and fusion. Over time, the vertebrae heal into a single, solid bone. One of the key benefits of cervical fusion is the significant reduction in neck pain and nerve-related symptoms like arm numbness or weakness. It also stabilizes the spine in cases where there is abnormal motion between vertebrae and helps prevent further damage to the spinal cord or nerves. Cervical fusion is also used to correct spinal alignment, which can be a source of pain and disability.
