The lumbar area of the spine is prone to injury; consequently lumbar fusions are the most common fusion procedure performed in the United States. Lumbar fusion is a surgical procedure that involves combining two or more vertebrae in the lumbar area of the spine. The fusion process involves the use of supplementary bone grafts, external fixation, and the body’s own natural bone producing process. Consequently, an individual who has had a fusion performed will generally incur a loss of flexibility and mobility. Is lumbar fusion always successful? Unfortunately, the answer is no and a percentage of patients will experience a failed fusion. Unfortunately, as well, even in instances of a successful lumbar fusion, neighboring vertebrae may be weakened by the surgical fusion process. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a lumbar fusion?
