To straighten the spine in scoliosis patients, hooks are attached to bones in the spine (vertebral bodies). Then two titanium rods are inserted to either side of the spine. A piece of bone from the patient's hip (a bone graft) is applied to portions of the spine to assist fusion and bone growth into the spaces between the vertebrae. The graft acts like cement to hold the vertebrae straight. This is called a spinal fusion.

The purpose of this procedure is to remove a small portion of the bone (microdiscectomy) over the nerve root and/or disc material from under the nerve root. By doing so, the surgeon is able to relieve the pinched nerve and provide more room for the nerve to heal.” View full resource at infospine.net
