title: Use of acrylic in anterior cervical discectomy: technical note.
abstract: Acrylic was inserted into the intervertebral space after anterior cervical discectomy in five patients. The application of the acrylic was simple and quick to perform and atraumatic to the patient. The intervertebral space was preserved satisfactorily and consistently in all five patients. With this technique, the complications associated with bone grafts can be avoided.
