Spine
-
A case report. ⋯ It must be kept in mind that cervical spine surgery is not an exceptional precipitator of cervical dystonia, despite the fact that it is extremely rare.
-
A retrospective review. ⋯ Harvesting cancellous autograft anteriorly from the lumbar spine using a trephine technique appears to be safe and reliable, with satisfactory fusion rates. Iliac crest graft harvesting with its attendant morbidity is avoided.
-
Experimental animal study. OBJECTIVE.: Evaluate osteopromotive properties of a beta-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) implant with different osteogenic substances in an animal study. ⋯ The combination of beta-TCP and bone marrow has superior osteopromotive properties to venous blood or concentrated mononuclear cells and can be used effectively as a substitute to iliac crest graft.
