Abstract:
Today it is possible to cure septic or non-septic defects of the spine with the help of diverse, specially designed implants for spinal surgery. The replacement of bone defects is realized by autologous bone grafts from the iliac crest, ribs or fibula pieces. Tumorous defects are preferably filled with bone cement and plates. A prerequisite for such operations is exact knowledge and operative experience with suitable approaches to the different levels of the spine.
