Effects of new assembled titanium mesh cage on the improvement in biomechanical performance of single-level anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion: a finite element analysis
The utilization of NTMC, which includes enlarged spacers and emulates endplate geometries, effectively reduces the risks of cage subsidence and instrument-related complications in ACCF. Furthermore, ACCF with NTMC also decreases the risks of dysphagia, facet joint degeneration, and adjacent disc degeneration during the follow-up period by altering the fixing method while maintaining construct stability.
