Spinal Fusion From The Front For Spinal Deformity

Maine rates for HCPCS 22808

This surgery treats a curvature or deformity of the spine by fusing together a small number of adjoining vertebrae, approached from the front of the body rather than the back. Fusing the bones together stops abnormal movement between them and helps hold the corrected alignment in place as the spine heals. It is used for a limited portion of the spine rather than a long segment.
