Objective To compare the safety and radiological effectiveness of lumbar interbody fusion
with a 3D-printed porous titanium (3D-PPT) cage versus a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) …

ABSTRACT The emergence of Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) in implant fabrication is a
sign of the revolution in healthcare that has been sparked by the convergence of 3D printing …

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to 1) define the incidence of transforaminal lumbar
interbody fusion (TLIF) interbody subsidence; 2) determine the relative importance of …

Background Cage subsidence remains a major complication after spinal surgery. The goal
of this study was to compare the subsidence performance of three modern porous cage …

Study Design Biomechanical study. Objectives Several strategies to improve the surface of
contact between an interbody device and the endplate have been employed to attenuate the …

Polyether–ether–ketone (PEEK) is a commonly employed biomaterial for spinal, cranial, and
dental implant applications due to its mechanical properties, bio-stability, and radiolucency …

Background and Objectives: To prevent postoperative problems in extreme lateral interbody
fusion (XLIF), it is critical that the vertebral endplate not be injured. Unintentional endplate …

Background and Objectives: Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) and failure (PJF), the most
prevalent complications following long-segment thoracolumbar fusions for adult spinal …

Introduction Lumbar degenerative spinal disease is a common, major cause of pain and
disability. Titanium and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are popular materials for interbody …

Introduction The assessment of segmental fusion after Lateral Lumbar Interbody fusion
(LLIF) using 3D-printed porous titanium cage is still not well studied. Various criteria, such as …
