Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: Comparison of titanium and polyetheretherketone cages

BACKGROUND: Titanium (TTN) cages have a higher modulus of elasticity when compared with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cages. This suggests that TTN-cages could show more frequent cage subsidence after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and therefore might lead to a higher loss of correctio...
