In our study on indications of anterior decompression and stabilization, we evaluated data from treating 36 patients. Patients demographics were as follows: 20 males, 16 females. The mean of their age is 30.6. Neurological status was assessed by Frankel classification. All patients had anterior decompression through vertebrectomy and strut grafting. We used tricortical iliac autograft in 18 (50 %) patients, fibular allograft in 5 (13 %) patients, titanium mesh in 13 (36 %) patients.
