                            <p>Spinal stabilizasyonda son derece gelişmiş spinal implantlara ve cerrahi tekniklere rağmen günümüzde halen kaynamama en önemli sorunu teşkil etmektedir. Spinal füzyonun başarısında rol alan faktörler arasında, greft materyalinin tipi, füzyon alanının greft dokusu ile mümkün olan en geniş yüzeyde teması, çevre kas ve yumuşak doku ile füzyona uğrayacak kemik dokuların uçlarının kanlanmalarının iyi olması, füzyona uğrayacak kemik dokuların hareketinin engellenmesi, füzyonu hedeflenen alana uygun greft dokusunun yerleştirilmesi sayılabilir.  Bu nedenle, füzyon oluşumunun temel şartlarından biri olan geniş kemik-greft alanının oluşturulabilmesini amaçlayan alternatif bir kafes- greft yerleştirme tekniğini geliştirip kullanarak radyolojik ve klinik takipini değerlendirdik. Uyguladığımız bu yeni alternatif teknikte, plaklı servikal korpektomi kafesinin anterior ve lateral yüzlerini temas edip dairesel tarzda tamamen dolduran greft materyalinin, bu şekilde yerleştirme sonrasında radyolojik olarak dairesel tarzda kemik füzyon oluşturduğunu gözlemledik. Bu graft yerleştirme şeklinin olası instabiliteyi azaltacağı düşünmekteyiz.</p></trans-abstract>

Among the factors that play a role in the success of spinal fusion, are type of graft material, contact of the fusion area with the graft tissue on the widest possible surface, good blood supply of the ends of the bone tissue that will fuse with the surrounding muscle and soft tissue, prevention of the movement of bone tissues that will be fused and placement of appropriate graft tissue in the targeted area for fusion. Therefore, we have developed and evaluated the radiological and clinical follow-up of an alternative cage - graft placement technique aimed at creating a large bone-graft area, which is one of the main conditions for the formation of fusion, and using it. In this new alternative technique we applied, we observed that the graft material that contacted the anterior and lateral faces of the cervical corpectomy cage with plates and completely filled them in a circular style formed a radiologically circular-style bone fusion after placement in this way. We believe that this graft placement will reduce possible instability.</p></abstract>
