After the cervical spinal decompression, we use full thickness of iliac bone for fusion material. To avoid the dislodging and to get good bony fusion, we take a long time of bed rest and strict immobilization of the cervical spine with our orthosis. To get an early active daily life, we introduce a new method. This is as follows; divide a full thickness of iliac bone in two pieces and turn round, then insert into a decompression area. By this method, we can regulate the size of a graft bone and the contact areas of a graft bone to decompression area are all spongiosa. So we can expect a stability and early bony fusion. We tried color attachment at two weeks after operation and then walking exercise. Six weeks after operation, patients were discharged. Seven of nine cases, good bony fusions were obtained twelve weeks after operation.
