Article Synopsis
- Spinal interbody fusion cages aim to stabilize vertebrae and promote bone growth through effective cellular interaction on their surfaces.
- The study evaluated the Ti-PEEK surface's effects on osteoblast activity and integration compared to standard PEEK, using both lab tests and an animal model over 12 and 24 weeks.
- Results showed that Ti-PEEK significantly improved cell attachment, early bone formation, and foundational strength, indicating better osseointegration than uncoated PEEK implants.
