Vascularized Bone Grafts for Spinal Fusion—Part 2: The Rib

Abstract

Pedicled vascularized rib grafts can be utilized to provide the advantages of a vascularized bone flap in complicated pathologies requiring spinal fusion as far as the L2-L3 level, without the morbidity associated with free tissue transfer.
