Özet

Objective: The high risk of nonunion represents a challenge in vertebral surgery, thus stimulating new strategies to improve fusion rates. We investigated the effect of 2 different bone grafts and amniotic fluid application on radiologically and histologically evaluated vertebral fusion in an experimental rat model.
