But just like any other surgeries the Spinal Fusion Surgery can lead to complications in some people.

Some complications that come along with Spinal Fusion Surgery but are rare are the possibility of Injuries to blood vessels or nerves in and around the spine.

And there can sometimes be pain around the site where the bone graft was taken.

But the complications that happen sometimes with Spinal Fusion Surgery are rare and most people come out of Spinal Fusion Surgery and recover just fine.
