Cervical Interbody fusion using calf bone

E B Siqueira, L I Kranzler

    Surgical Neurology
    |July 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Kiel Surgibone, a calf bone graft, demonstrated successful cervical interbody fusion in 221 patients. This sterile, preshaped graft eliminated complications and the need for autologous or homologous bone procurement.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Fusion
    • Biomaterials

    Background:

    • Cervical interbody fusion often requires bone grafting.
    • Autologous and homologous bone grafts have associated drawbacks.
    • Kiel Surgibone offers an alternative bone graft material.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kiel Surgibone (calf bone) in cervical interbody fusion.
    • To assess complication rates associated with Kiel Surgibone use.

    Main Methods:

    • Anterior cervical interbody fusion using Kiel Surgibone dowels.
    • Study included 221 patients.
    • Follow-up assessed fusion rates and complications.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful fusion was achieved in all patients who survived long enough for fusion to occur.
  • No complications were specifically attributed to the Kiel Surgibone graft material.
  • Kiel Surgibone eliminated the need for autologous bone harvesting or bone banking.

    • Conclusions:

    • Kiel Surgibone is a safe and effective bone graft substitute for cervical interbody fusion.
    • Its use simplifies surgical procedures by eliminating the need for additional bone procurement.
    • The sterile, preshaped nature of Kiel Surgibone offers practical advantages.
