Two-year clinical results in the first 26 patients. Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 1993;18:2106–7. )) combined [[interbody fusion]] with [[pedicle screw]]/[[plate]] [[stabilization]] of the [[lumbar spine]] in [[1993]]. In [[spinal oncology]], [[titanium]] implants pose several challenges including [[artifact]]s on advanced imaging and therapeutic radiation perturbation. To mitigate these effects, there has been increased interest in radiolucent [[carbon fiber]] (CF) and CF-reinforced [[polyetheretherketone]] ([[CFR-PEEK]]) [[implant]]s as an alternative for [[spinal reconstruction]]. see [[CFR-PEEK]] carbon_fiber.txt Last modified: 2024/06/07 02:49by 127.0.0.1
