Your Article Summary
Mikhael MM et al. – There is no significant difference in the rate of infection following spine fusion using irradiated allograft, nonirradiated allograft, or autograft. The selection of bone graft to aid in spinal fusion should be based on the requirements of surgical technique and availability of the desired tissue and not on a perceived association with postoperative infection.
