Interbody cages are commonly used to augment interbody fusion. Commonly used materials include titanium (Ti) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK), with their inherent differences. The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare between the various clinical and radiological outcomes of Ti and PEEK interbody spinal cages.
In non-infective lumbar spine conditions, Ti cage may be the superior option due to the higher fusion rate.
Level of evidence: III. Copyright remains with the authors and publisher.
