Post spinal fusion patients may bever be able to achieve this. Not sure why this is so important to you as there are many other exercises that can help you back to fitmess.
You don't say where you were fused ( lumber 4 and 5 or greater) or whether it was a total lubar pinning with Harringtom rods.
Regardless, touching your toes may not be achievable for most, If you were very supple before you might be able to do it and achieve it again after a few months. But it may be in your interest to duscuss the matter with your physio.

Hi there, We have been helping people achieve more flexibility in many different areas of their body, but, especially their back. We use magents for this. I myself have suffered a severe lower back and also a neck injury. I now swear by these products. The magnet increases circulation and flexibility in the covered area.
