This article highlights those disease processes for which fusion is used most frequently in the adult. Although the focus is on clinical outcome after fusion, the indications and natural history of the process itself are also briefly discussed to provide a comparative basis on which outcomes may be judged.
本文重点介绍了在成人中最常采用融合术的那些疾病过程。尽管重点是融合术后的临床结果，但也简要讨论了疾病过程本身的适应证和自然病史，以提供一个可据此判断结果的比较基础。
