Cervical Vertebral Joint Fusion Procedure Overview
Procedures in this group involve surgically joining together portions of the cervical vertebral joint to render the joint immobile, targeting the upper joints of the spine. These fusion operations stabilize the cervical spine by creating a bony union between vertebral articular structures and may use grafts, fixation devices, or biologic adjuncts. Accurate coding of these inpatient fusion procedures ensures that the clinical complexity and resources used are properly captured for reimbursement and case mix assignment.
