Bone Density Correlates With Depth of Subsidence After Expandable Interbody Cage Placement
Depth of subsidence was negatively correlated with bone foam density at both constant input torque and constant endplate force. Because tactile feedback of cage expansion into the subsiding bone cannot be reliably distinguished from true expansion of disc space height, surgeons should take bone quality into account when deploying expandable cages.
