The other surgical option for spondylosis is stabilization surgery, which typically follows decompression surgeries to ensure the removed tissue does not result in the spine to move unnaturally. The most common forms of spinal stabilization are fusions. A surgeon uses a bone graft or another biological substance to allow the spine to fuse over the recovery period. He or she will often use screws, pins, and wires to keep the spine stable while the bones fuse.
