Separation surgery with cement-augmented short-segment fixation for spinal metastasis: early experience with carbon fiber–reinforced polyetheretherketone instrumentation
Short-segment cement-augmented fixation is a feasible strategy in open separation surgery for MESCC. This is the first clinical study to incorporate the use of CFRP instrumentation in such a surgical strategy. Additional studies with larger sample sizes and longer durations of follow-up would support both the durability and potential survival benefit over titanium instrumentation.
