Spinal Fusion Through A Side Approach

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 22533

Fuses two vertebrae together, reaching the spine from the side of the body rather than from the back or the front. Just enough disc is cleared to prepare the space, and bone graft is packed in so the vertebrae grow into one solid unit. It is used for instability, deformity, or damage from infection or injury.
