Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT A successful anterior spinal fusion using vascularized fibula graft in the case of a 17-year-old male with severe cervical kyphosis due to neurofibromatosis is reported. Anterior spinal fusion at C2-7 using the fibula graft was performed with spinous process wiring. The kyphosis was corrected from 85 to 38 degrees. Bony fusion was obtained in 5 months without loss of correction.
