Comparison of outcomes between 3D-printed porous titanium alloy and polyetheretherketone cages for atlantoaxial intra-articular fusion in craniovertebral malformations
Fusion failure significantly undermines long-term outcomes. The 3DPT cage is a viable option for improving long-term results by minimizing loss of reduction, preventing fusion failure, and reducing cage micromotion.
