Description

Lumbar fusion procedures have become increasingly common in the treatment of degenerative, traumatic, neoplastic, and deforming conditions of the lumbar spine. As techniques have advanced over time to increase the success of these procedures, the adjunctive use of interbody cages to add structural stability and improve fusion rates has become more common. This chapter describes the types, biomechanical properties, and advantages and disadvantages of the various interbody fusion devices applicable to the anterior column.
