| description | Objective. This study evaluates the efficacy of peek cages in interbody fusion in 32 consecutive patients treated for cervical disc herniation. Methods: During one-year period, 32 patients were treated in our Department for cervical disc disease using interbody fusion with peek cages There were 19 men and 13 women, aged between 33 and 68 years (mean 44 years). We used autologus cancelous bone for cage packing and no plate fixation. The mean follow-up was 12 months. Results: We judged the success of surgery using the following criteria: recovery of neurological function/radiculopathy, positioning of the cage, extent of fusion at 1-year follow-up, and return to work. Conclusion: The use of peek cages in interbody fusion for the treatment of cervical disc disease seems to be a good alternative to classic ACDF using tricortical bone graft. |
