Main Results:

  • Titanium alloys and polyetheretherketone are common materials.
  • Novel composite and bioresorbable materials offer expanded applications.
  • 3D printing enables diverse "de-solidified" cage designs.

Conclusions:

  • Further optimization of material properties and manufacturing is needed for improved clinical outcomes.
  • Research on optimal porous structure parameters is required to balance mechanical strength and osseointegration.
