颈椎椎间融合器设计的历史沿革与研究进展

History and advances of cervical interbody fusion cage design

颈椎融合术是治疗颈椎退行性疾病的重要手段,早期的自体骨移植因高并发症发生率而逐渐被临床淘汰,椎间融合器的出现使得该术式的成功率大大提升。从钛金属到PEEK、可吸收材料,从螺纹结构到盒式结构,从钛板螺钉固定到零切迹方案,融合器设计的发展使得融合速度与融合效果逐渐提升。本文针对椎间融合器的发展历程和最新进展作一综述。

Cervical vertebral fusion is an important method to treat cervical degenerative diseases. Due to high complication rate, autologous bone graft is gradually eliminated, while the appearance of interbody fusion cages has greatly increased the success rate of this procedure. From titanium metal to PEEK, absorbable materials, threaded structures to box-type structures, and titanium plate to zero-profile solutions, the development of fusion cage design has resulted in gradual increases in fusion speed and fusion efficiency. This article reviews the history and advances of cervical interbody fusion cage.
