Resistance of coated polyetheretherketone lumbar interbody fusion cages against abrasion under simulated impaction into the disc space
In order to improve osseointegration, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) interbody fusion cages are frequently surface coated. The bonding strength of the coatings is mostly investigated under unrealistic loading conditions. To close this gap, in this study, uncoated and coated cages were loaded in a clini...
