If you speaking about the back and spinal surgery. For fusion using red sea coral and my blood as a matrix five gold rings and twelve screws and bolts it was $ 89,000.00 thirteen hours of surgery. For the same fusion using my hip bones (two) and gold rings and twelve screws and bolts in the Midwest $35,000.00 for the cervical spine one fusion with taking off the spurs and four screws and rings again $ 18,000.00, this happen twice more times. About the same. This varies with doctors and due to types of surgeries and techniques used the costs vary. All can be dealt with at the hospital so no suffering is created mentally.. The prices are variable and are dealt with between patient and hospital. Social Security Insurance is very helpful. Sometimes Medicaid is useful where it comes in if possible.

Check with your surgeon and/or local hospital. Much depends on what your insurance company is willing to pay.
