biomaterial for spinal implants. PEEK lumbar fusion rods have recently become available for …

Background Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rod system is a novel pedicle-based dynamic
stabilization system. This study evaluated clinical and radiographic outcomes of non-fusion …

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion using cages, titanium rods, and pedicle screws is
considered today as the gold standard of surgical treatment of lumbar degenerative disease …

Background Posterior lumbar instruments made of titanium and its alloys could change the
physiological distribution of load at the instrumented and adjacent segments, which is a …

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objective: This study was performed to
compare the fusion and subsidence rate of titanium-coated polyetheretherketone (Ti-PEEK) …

Objective Lumbar fusion with implantation of interbody cage is a common procedure for
treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. This study aims to compare the fusion and …
