Durability of carbon fiber–reinforced PEEK spinal instrumentation in spine oncology: a single-institution longitudinal experience
This institutional experience provides the largest cohort with long-term follow-up to evaluate CFR-PEEK-related instrumentation failure in patients with spine tumors. The rate of hardware failure among CFR-PEEK instrumented constructs was comparable to that in the current literature for titanium implants used in degenerative spine and spine oncology treatment. Importantly, there were no hardware failures noted among patients with extended long-term survival, reinforcing the durability of CFR-PEEK instrumentation.
