We report the case histories of two patients treated in our unit for cervical radiculopathy by anterior cervical discectomy and BOP grafting. Both grafts disintegrated within 6 weeks of insertion resulting in increased neurological deficit from cervical cord compression. At reoperation fibres from the grafts were found to have separated and the larger fragments had extruded into the vertebral canal. No evidence of infection was seen, but a foreign body reaction was found in one case. Following graft removal the patients improved symptomatically although one was left with permanent mild biceps weakness.
