ABSTRACT
Anterior strut grafting for kyphosis has become an accepted procedure. High stresses are placed across these grafts, however, and it would seem advisable to use a living bone graft that could remodel in response to these stresses, rather than an avascular graft of fibula or rib such as is commonly employed. This case report demonstrates the use of a free, vascularized living bone graft in the treatment of a post-traumatic kyphosis, with successful subsequent incorporation into the anterior fusion mass.
