Article Synopsis
- The study tested a new bioabsorbable implant made from magnesium and PCL in sheep undergoing cervical spine surgery, comparing it to the standard bone graft method.
- After surgery, the sheep showed no major complications, and both types of implants demonstrated similar success in achieving spinal fusion over time.
- The findings suggest that the bioabsorbable cage is safe and effective, matching the performance of traditional bone grafts in terms of osseointegration.
