We pertormed anterior cervical fusion by use of two pieces of iliac bone. Unicortical or bicortical bone was put into the decompression area vertically by two pieces. This method gave good stability to the cervical spine and allowed the patients to sit up with conventional cervical collar 5-10 days after the operation.42 patients operated on by this method were reviewed radiographically. 38 patients suffered from cervical injury and 4 patients from degenerative disease. The man follow-up was 6 months. The mean loss of angle from immediate postoperation to solid fusion was 6.2° but all of them gained local aligment. There was no marked dislodegment of the grafted bone. This method was beneficial to facilitate early rehabilitation and obtain bony union.
