Radiological evaluation of anterior lumbar fusion using PEEK cages with adjacent vertebral autograft in spinal deformity long fusion surgeries

Abstract

The use of lumbar ALIF with PEEK cages and adjacent vertebral autografts in spinal deformity long fusion surgeries is an effective and safe procedure. The allograft filler is safe and effective in maintaining the shape of harvested vertebrae. Additional long-term follow-up studies are needed to further justify its use.
