Manubrial autograft for anterior cervical fusion.
Anterior cervical fusion is a commonly performed procedure and the most common graft material used is anterior iliac crest autograft. However, this donor site is a source of significant patient discomfort. The author describes the use of tricortical manubrial autograft which provides a surgically convenient donor site with less morbidity than with traditional iliac crest.
