Final answer:
During an anterior cervical fusion, a bone graft is indeed used to fuse the vertebrae together, and this can come from the patient or a donor.
Step-by-step explanation:
True, during an anterior cervical fusion, a bone graft is often taken in order to fuse the vertebrae. The procedure involves removing a damaged disc and then using a bone graft to join, or fuse, two adjacent vertebrae together. This bone graft can be harvested from the patient's own body (autograft) or from a donor (allograft).
