Long-Term Durability

You want your spinal cage to last a long time. Studies show porous titanium cages help your spine fuse better. They also lower the risk of the cage sinking into bone. Researchers found 3D printed cages sink less than old plastic cages. Most studies look at results after one year. They show strong fusion and fewer problems.

Porous titanium and biomechanically optimized cages help your spine stay stable. They help bone grow and last longer. These new ideas make your recovery safer and give you better results after surgery.

Motion-Preserving and Facet Replacement Technologies

Alternatives to Traditional Fixation

Traditional spinal fixation systems can stop your spine from moving. These systems use rods and screws to hold bones together. This can make it hard for your spine to bend or twist. Over time, nearby parts of your spine may wear out faster. This is called adjacent segment disease.

Motion-preserving technologies and facet replacement systems give you new choices. These devices help your spine move after surgery. You can have better movement and fewer long-term problems. The table below shows how these options help:

Preserving Mobility Post-Surgery

You want to move and feel good after surgery. Motion-preserving devices let your spine bend and twist. Facet replacement devices act like real joints. They help your back stay flexible and strong.

Doctors see good results with these new devices. Patients say they have less pain and can move more. One study showed people with lumbar total joint replacements had less pain and could do more than those with fusion. The table below shows the results:

Motion-preserving devices help you feel better and move more. Some people can do daily activities without limits years after surgery.

Clinical Applications and Outcomes

Doctors use motion-preserving and facet replacement devices for many spine problems. These devices help people with arthritis or worn-out joints. You may get these devices if you want to keep moving after surgery.

HA-Coated Polyaxial Screws in Spinal Fixation System

Promoting Bone Integration

You want your spinal implant to heal well and stay strong. HA-coated polyaxial screws help bone grow on the screw surface. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a mineral found in bones. Doctors use screws with HA coating so your body knows the surface. Your body starts to build new bone on the screw. This is called osseointegration. You get better support and a stronger bond between bone and screw.

• HA coating helps bone cells stick and grow.

• New bone forms faster around the screw.

• The screw becomes part of your bone, not just metal.

Reducing Complications

You want fewer problems after surgery. HA-coated polyaxial screws lower the risk of screws getting loose. Studies show these screws have higher extraction torque after surgery than regular screws. This means the screws stay in place better. Animal studies show HA-coated screws need more force to pull out. They hold stronger in bone.

Doctors see fewer loose screws when they use HA-coated screws. You get safer surgery and less chance of needing another operation.

If you have weak bones or osteoporosis, you get better results. HA-coated screws help your bone grip the screw tightly.

Clinical Evidence and Adoption

Doctors trust HA-coated polyaxial screws because research shows they work well. You can see the benefits in clinical studies:

More hospitals now use HA-coated screws in the Spinal Fixation System. You get better bone integration, fewer problems, and stronger support for your spine.
