Postoperative Sclerotic Modic Changes After Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: Whether It Is Different Between Nano-hydroxyapatite/Polyamide 66 and Polyetheretherketone Cage?
The incidence of postoperative sclerotic MCs in the n-HA/PA66 cage was significantly lower than that in the PEEK, which may be attributed to the better fusion status of the n-HA/PA66 cage. These results indicate that the n-HA/PA66 cage is a good biomimetic cage and may be beneficial for postoperative sclerotic MCs.
