The use of fibular grafts with anterior cervical fusion.

Anterior cervical fusion utilizing an iliac-crest graft is often associated with pain at the donor site and graft collapse or dislocation. These problems were overcome by a surgical technique using circular fresh-frozen fibular grafts. This provides the strongest possible graft, and affords an opportunity to combine autogenous with homologous bone. There is minimal risk of infection, and the grafts can be soaked in an antibiotic solution as an added precaution. The technique is relatively easy, and postoperative results with regard to graft integrity, restoration of function, and resolution of pain are excellent.

Precision thermal imaging of the extremities.

Precision thermal imaging can give valuable physiological information which is not obtainable by any other means. It is particularly useful for follow up because it is painless and noninvasive. Meticulous attention to technique is necessary. A strict pre-examination protocol must be adhered to. Proper equilibration with ambient temperature is essential. The parts to be imaged must be insulated from other parts of the body. Standard views must be obtained. Adherence to good technique will yield repeatable accurate images.
