Enhanced strength and durability of long fiber type carbon fiber reinforced plastic rods over titanium alloy rods for spinal fixation
This study introduces a new type of long fiber type CFRP rod for spinal surgery that is stronger, lasts longer, and causes fewer imaging problems than current titanium rods, and may prevent complications such as rod breakage. The long fiber type CFRP rod may improve the safety and outcomes of spinal surgeries.
