Abstract

Studying the clinical long-term results following anterior cervical fusion with bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate = PMMA), the authors became aware of radiological phenomena, such as “halos” (25), i.e. annular areas of increased radiolucency and changes in the adjacent vertebral bone structures. Because we did not know the cause, an experimental study was designed in order to elucidate the clinical and pathogenetic relevance, and the morphological correlation of these findings (8).
