Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Bioabsorbable intervertebral fusion cage has similar strength and modulus of elasticity with bone tissues and possesses ray permeability. It can be absorbed gradually by human tissues which is apt to fusion.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the characters in different materials of the bioresorbable intervertebral fusion cage, illustrate results of animal researches and investigate effects of different fusion cages in clinical application.
METHODS: Literatures about the bioresorbable intervertebral fusion cage published in English and those published in domestic core magazines were selected from PubMed, and those articles were analyzed, classified, summarized and reviewed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With the development of materials science, absorbing materials in spinal surgery are widely applied. Although they have shown remarkable clinical result and prospect as an emerging technology, they still need to be gradually developed, and more research should be carried out.
