Iliac end-to-end structural autograft for complex failure after occipital cervical fusion: illustrative case.
Key Points
This research explores the use of bilateral autologous iliac grafts to repair deficits from cervical surgery.
Utilized bilateral iliac grafts for reconstruction
Focused on a case of occipital cervical fusion failure
Performed during revision surgery for complex defects
Successful grafting led to effective repair of the laminectomy site
Improved surgical outcomes compared to traditional methods
Abstract
Bilateral autologous iliac grafts can be combined to overcome a large cervical laminectomy defect during OCF revision surgery. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25649.
