Metropolitan Rehabilitation Centre, Wierzejewskiego, Poland.

Between 1987 and 1991 the spine was stabilised in 205 patients using corundum ceramic implants. The radiological results were assessed with a follow up of from 6 to 24 months and were graded as good in 81%. Poor results were not due to the implanted material, but were usually caused by failure to obtain full correction of the deformity at operation. Porous ceramic implants produce better radiological results, with a decrease in operating time and a reduced risk of infection.
