Study Design: A retrospective, single-center study.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess radiographic fusion after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) supplemented with either demineralized bone matrix or ViviGen in a polyetheretherketone biomechanical interbody cage.
Summary Of Background Data: Cellular and noncellular allografts are utilized as adjuncts in attempts to improve fusion after ACDF.
Introduction: Schatzker type III fractures of the tibial plateau require elevation of the depressed portions to regain articular congruity. Balloon tibioplasty has been used as an alternative to conventional metal instruments for elevation of the lateral tibial plateau. This study compared functional outcomes following balloon tibioplasty or conventional osteosynthesis techniques in patients with type III fractures of the tibial plateau.
