Autogenic Rib Graft for Atlantoaxial and Occipitocervical Fixation in Pediatric Patients.

Conclusions: Autogenic rib grafts have advantages of potential bone regeneration, high fusion rate, and low donor-site morbidity. In addition, a screw-rod construct provides better bony fusion in pediatric patients with OCF and atlantoaxial fixation. PMID: 31079429 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
