Abstrakt: Spinal fusion can be challenging to obtain in patients with complex spinal pathology. Medial scapular vascularized bone grafts (S-VBGs) are a novel approach to supplement cervicothoracic arthrodesis in patients at high risk of failed spinal fusion. In this article, we discuss the benefits of using VBGs compared with both nonvascularized bone grafts and free vascularized bone flaps and the surgical technique, feasibility, and limitations specific to the S-VBG.
