C0037935

Code also any: insertion of interbody spinal fusion device (84.51); insertion of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein (84.52); the total number of vertebrae fused (81.62-81.64); synchronous excision of (locally) harvested bone for graft (77.70-77.79)

Note: Spinal fusion is classified by the anatomic portion (column) fused and the technique (approach) used to perform the fusion. For the anterior column, the body (corpus) of adjacent vertebrae are fused (interbody fusion). The anterior column can be fused using an anterior, lateral, or posterior technique. For the posterior column, posterior structures of adjacent vertebrae are fused (pedicle, lamina, facet, transverse process, or "gutter" fusion). A posterior column fusion can be performed using a posterior, posterolateral, or lateral transverse technique.
