Posterior interbody spondylodesis using a cage in the system of lumbar osteochondrosis treatment

Abstract

Titanium cages in combination with autobone can be successfully used for interbody spondylodesis of different types together with other known implants. Owing to the holes in the titanium cage body, bone tissue of adjacent vertebrae sprouts into the cage. Favourable conditions are for bone-metal spondylodesis formation. The use of the titanium cage reduces surgery damage and does not require the additional use of iliac crest autograft.
