Subsidence of Polyetheretherketone Cage after Anterior Cervical Fusion

Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association, 2014
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the rate and direction of subsidence that occurred after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using the polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage and to analyze the risk factors of subsidence. Materials and Methods: Thirty two patients (36 segments) who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using ...

Complete cage migration/subsidence into the adjacent vertebral body after posterior lumbar interbody fusion

, 2015
A variety of implant-related short and long-term complications after lumbar fusion surgery are recognized. Mid to long-term complications due to cage migration and/or cage subsidence are less frequently reported. Here, we report a patient with a complete

Lumbar disc height and vertebral Hounsfield units: association with interbody cage subsidence [PDF]

Neurosurgical Focus, 2020
OBJECTIVE Postoperative subsidence of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) cages can result in loss of lordosis and foraminal height, and potential recurrence of nerve root impingement. The objectives of this study were to determine factors associated with TLIF cage subsidence. Specifically, the authors

Stepwise reduction of bone mineral density increases the risk of cage subsidence in oblique lumbar interbody fusion patients biomechanically: an in-silico study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Cage subsidence causes poor prognoses in patients treated by oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). Deterioration of the biomechanical environment initially triggers cage subsidence, and patients with low bone mineral density (BMD) suffer a ...
