Vascularized fibular strut grafts are a viable method for reconstruction following spondylectomy. We present the largest series of patients to date utilizing this technique. Further comparative studies examining vascularized grafts vs nonvascularized grafts or metallic cage constructs will be important in choosing the best reconstructive strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
