Retrospective. ⋯ The mechanical stability offered by the cement-based anterior reconstruction is maintained during the lifespan of patients operated for the spinal metastasis. Satisfying functional and radiological outcomes observed at the last follow-up show that this lasting, cost sparing, and relatively simple reconstruction technique, is a valid alternative for the costly and more complicated cage-based reconstruction.
