The use of Titan and PEEK implants in stand-alone ALIF surgery for degenerative disease of the Lumbosacral spine - A prospective study

Original language description

The use of cages is one of the methods to obtain anterior lumbar fusion (ALIF). The study reviews the clinical results in correlation with radiological findings for two types of implants: a titan implant (Syn-Cage, Synthes, USA) s compared with a PEEK implant (Visios, Synthes, USA) used in a stand-alone ALIF surgery in patients with degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine. The set of patients is made up of two identical groups each consisting of 14 patients, with a follow-up time of at least one year. The correlations between the clinical findings expressed by Visual Analogue Scale, Oswestry Disability Index and neurological examination and the CT and MRI findings prior to surgery and one year post-op were assessed by standard statistical methods.The presence of Modic changes type 1 in MRI one year postop was associated with a lower degree of improvement of clinical status as compared with other Modic changes. Modic changes type 1 developed post-op in five patients (35.7%) with a
