Mesh cages for spinal deformity in adults.

Correction of deformity including restoration of sagittal plane malalignment in patients with spinal disorders is facilitated by placement of structural allografts and cages into the anterior column. The effectiveness of these implants will be reviewed with a focus on anterior column implantation of titanium mesh cages. In a consecutive study of adult patients who had spinal fusions for sagittal plane deformities using structural titanium mesh cages, cage status, fusion status, and outcome were assessed.
