Objective: To explore the effects of nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (n-HA/PA66) cage on recovering and maintaining lumbar curvature, lumbar heights and fusion rate when used in the transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.
Methods: From February to July 2012, 50 patients with degenerative lumbar disease(lumbar disc herniation in 32 cases and lumbar spondylolisthesis in 18 cases) were treated with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion using the n-HA/PA66 cage, and their preoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were analyzed. The patients were followed up for 2, 4, 6 and 8 months after operation, during which the CR and CT film of lumbar vertebra were checked to get relative height of vertebral space, Taillard index,index of lumbar spinal curvature,angle of segmental and full lumbar lordosis. The data were analyzed respectively with pair t-test, analysis of variance or LSD-t-test.
Results: All the patients were followed up, and the duraion ranged from 8 to 13 months, with a mean of 11.32 months. There were significant differences in relative height of vertebral space, Taillard index, index of lumbar spinal curvature, angle of segmental and full lumbar lordosis after surgery, but there were no significant differences in different periods after operation. The fusion time of lumbar ranged from 4 to 8 months.
Conclusion: The n-HA/PA66 cage can recover and maintain lumbar normal stability with higher rate of fusion and less complications.

Purpose: Previous studies have confirmed the advantages and disadvantages of autogenous iliac bone and nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (n-HA/PA66) cage. However, there is no conclusive comparison between the efficacy of the two implant materials in spinal tuberculosis bone graft fusion. The aim of this study was to analyze the mid-to long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes between n-HA/PA66 cage and autogenous iliac bone for anterior reconstruction application of spinal defect for thoracolumbar tuberculosis.

Objective: This retrospective monocentric study was conducted to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of the nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide66 (n-HA/PA66) cage in reconstructing the anterior column of the spine following total spondylectomy (TES).
Methods: A cohort of 24 patients, 20 diagnosed with primary malignant tumors and 4 with metastatic malignancies, was selected based on specific inclusion criteria. All were subjected to TES and anterior column reconstruction with the n-HA/PA66 cage from January 2013 to July 2023 at a single institution.

Objective: Previous studies have confirmed that the nanohydroxyapatite/polyamide-66 (n-HA/PA66) cage is an ideal alternative material for degenerative lumbar disease (DLD) comparable to the polyether ether ketone (PEEK) cage due to its similar radiographic fusion, subsidence rate, and clinical results. However, these studies were restricted to one-level surgery. The aim of this study was to analyze the long-term clinical and radiologic outcomes between n-HA PA66 cage and PEEK cage for patients with multi-level degenerative lumbar diseases (DLDs).
