Comparison Between Allograft Plus Demineralized Bone Matrix Versus Autograft in Anterior Cervical Fusion|A Prospective Multicenter Study

Radiolucent cage for cervical vertebral reconstruction: A prospective study of 17 cases with 2-year minimum follow-up

“…In cervical reconstruction, after extensive decompression through an anterior approach, the use of an iliac crest graft associated with screw-plate fixation gives satisfactory results, both clinically and in terms of the quality of bony fusion achieved [2,7,13,27,28]. However, the morbidity of the iliac bone harvest can often tarnish these results.…”

“…Arthrodesis with autologous iliac crest graft is considered as the biologic and biomechanical standard in anterior cervical reconstruction [2,7,13,27,28]. However, morbidity involving the site of graft harvest remains high and can compromise the often satisfactory clinical result of cervical nerve root and spinal cord decompression [3,22].…”

Correlative radiological, self-assessment and clinical analysis of evolution in instrumented dorsal and lateral fusion for degenerative lumbar spine disease. Autograft versus coralline hydroxyapatite

“…In particular, minor complications following autografting include superficial infections [41], seromas, hematomas, altered sensation in a rate ranging from 3.1% to 39% [1,3], while the pseudarthrosis rate for a singlelevel fusion ranges from 3.5% to 40% [6,7,33,40,44] and increases as the number of segments to be fused increases. Allograft has been used as an alternative to autologous graft, but the possible risk of infection [44] and the reported inferior rate of union and healing [2,10,22,24,31] have limited its use.…”
