What is the difference between thoracic and lumbar fusion?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• There are 12 thoracic vertebrae and five lumbar vertebrae.

1. The fusion of the body of the vertebrae between the thoracic spine is called a thoracic fusion.
2. A fusion at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine is called a thoracolumbar fusion.
3. And that between the lumbar vertebrae is called lumbar vertebrae fusion.
