Spinal interbody cages (ICs) improve fusion rates and patient outcomes in spinal disorders. Recent research focuses on optimizing IC design, materials, and coatings for enhanced stability and fusion.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Biomaterials engineering
  • Orthopedic research

Background:

  • Spinal interbody cages (ICs) have been pivotal since the 1980s for spinal fusion, offering improved outcomes compared to bone graft alone.
  • Early threaded titanium cages enhanced fusion rates but presented issues with stability and subsidence.
  • Modern non-threaded titanium or PEEK cages offer better stability but still require optimization in areas like subsidence and fusion rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in spinal interbody cage technology over the past three years.
  • To highlight trends in optimizing cage design, materials, and fusion-enhancing strategies.
  • To address persistent challenges in cage stability, subsidence, and overall fusion efficacy.
