Definitely safe: Cadaver bone for an anterior cervical fusion (what it sounds like you are having) is safe, sterile, and works practically as good as taking bone from your own pelvis. Plus, no pain from harvesting the bone from your pelvis. Typically, one day in the hospital. Maybe two of there are any complications or to watch your other medical issues.
