Author information: (1)Department of Neurosurgery, West Virginia University Medical School, Morgantown. Bony fusion is frequently required for anatomical reconstruction and stabilization of the spine. This review discusses bone structure, healing after fracture, and bony fusion, including the use of autografts and allografts. Research should be done on preparation of the bed, the nature and quantity of bone to be used, and how best to immobilize the spine. DOI: 10.1227/00006123-198902000-00018
