Empty Bladed PEEK Cage for Interbody Fusion after Anterior Cervical Discectomy.
AIM Cervical disc herniation (CDH) can be treated using different anterior and posterior methods. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is currently gold standard and provides bony fusion and good clinical outcome. Recently many studies reported good clinical and radiological outcomes in cases who underwent anterior cervical discectomy (ACD) and reconstruction with empty cage. This stu...
متن کاملSubsidence and Nonunion after Anterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Using a Stand-Alone Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Cage
BACKGROUND The purposes of the present study are to evaluate the subsidence and nonunion that occurred after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using a stand-alone intervertebral cage and to analyze the risk factors for the complications. METHODS Thirty-eight patients (47 segments) who underwent anterior cervical fusion using a stand-alone polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage and an autologo...
متن کاملEvaluation of a Novel PEEK Titanium Composite (PTC) Interbody Cage in an Ovine Lumbar Interbody Fusion
INTRODUCTION: The majority of interbody devices for spine fusion are PEEK. Other interbody devices use a rough 2D titanium surface or full porous titanium or tantalum cores, which have been shown in-vitro and in-vivo to promote osteoinduction and osteointegration, respectively. Combining the increased osteogenic environment that titanium provides and the minimized subsidence and radiolucency fr...
متن کاملAnterior Cervical Interbody Fusion Using a Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Cage Device and Local Autograft Bone
A nterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been performed with various techniques and devices for many years. Autologous iliac crest grafts were initially used for the Cloward and Robinson and Smith techniques, but because of iliac crest graft site complications (eg, pain, infection, fracture, dystrophic scarring), the procedure was generally superseded by allograft implants. These imp...
متن کاملTransforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion Using LOOP® PEEK Cage Implants: Safety, Feasibility, Radiographic and Clinical Outcome
Objective: A variety of newly designed grafts for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) have been introduced for clinical application. Biomechanical properties of the LOOP® PEEK cage (Medtronic GmbH, Meerbusch, Germany) have been shown in cadaver laboratory investigations, but not in clinical studies so far. In this study we analyze the safety, clinical and radiological outcome of the L...
