Biomechanical comparison of two different concepts for stand alone anterior lumbar interbody fusion.
Philipp Schleicher,R. Gerlach,B. Schär,Christopher M J Cain,W. Achatz,Robert Pflugmacher,Norbert P. Haas,Frank Kandziora +7 more
TL;DR: The test device is an implant which consists of a PEEK-body and an integrated anterior titanium plate hosting four diverging locking screws that avoids posterior fixation by enhancing stability via the locking screws.
