✓ The successful use of autogenous skull bone grafts for a C3–7 anterior cervical fusion is reported and compared with results using other bone grafts. A 51-year-old man with C4–7 anterior cord compression due to spurs and ossified posterior longitudinal ligaments developed progressive tetraparesis following a minor head injury. He underwent anterior decompression and fusion. On two occasions an iliac graft had failed; however, a graft of autogenous skull bone was successful. The skull bone was found superior to bone from other sites, such as the iliac crest, rib, tibia, and fibula, showing sufficient strength and less morbidity. The skull may be a better source of graft material for multilevel anterior cervical fusion, which requires long and strong grafts.

Vertebral Bodies

✓ The authors describe the surgical technique of anterior cervical fusion using bone grafts obtained from cervical vertebral bodies. This series consisted of 90 patients with cervical intervertebral disc disease suffering from cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Thirty-five patients were operated on at one level, 33 at two levels, and 22 at three levels. Postoperative x-ray films showed solid bone fusion in all patients at a mean follow-up time of 24 months (range 1 year to 3 years 6 months). Anterior angulation was found in four (4.4%) of the 90 patients. This surgical procedure has two major advantages: 1) there are no complications related to the iliac donor site, allowing early patient mobilization; and 2) the extensive posterior spur can be removed safely and easily under a wide operative field without damaging the spinal cord and nerve roots.
