Neck (Cervical) Fusion:
- Procedure: Spinal fusion is a surgery to permanently join together two or more bones in the spine so there is no movement between them. This can be done on the part of your back or neck over the spine.
- Risks: Infection, damage to a spinal nerve, leakage of spinal fluid, and headaches.

Ankle Fusion:
