Best Answer

spondylosyndesis - spinal fusion, from -spondyl- meaning "vertebra" + syn- "with, together" + -desis"binding". Too extreme? There's spondyloarthrocace, lit. vertebra joint badness, or spondylopathy, lit. vertebra disease or suffering, or rachiopathy, also vertebra disease or suffering.

(The two medical word parts that mean vertebra are spondyl- and rachi-.)
