Lecture: Cage Failures in Lumbar Interbody Fusion
This spine surgery lecture covers cage failures in lumbar interbody fusion. It first addresses the goals and effects of interbody cages followed by a discussion of fusion assessment. Then a number of clinical cases are presented in which cage failure occurred along with their different mechanisms and treatment strategies. The facilitating factors of non-union are considered, and finally a treatment strategy for these cases is suggested.
