Abstract
Numerous pathological conditions of the spine require treatment involving the use of bone grafts. The iliac crest is a readily available donor site, but removal of bone may leave a major defect. The technique of reconstruction of the pelvic defect using the rib excised at the time of thoracoabdominal exposure is described.
