Abstract:Polymer cervical fusion cage has been widely used in anterior cervical decompression and interbody fusion, due to its advantages of maintaining cervical physiological lordosis and intervertebral space height, providing intermediate stability and promoting intervertebral fusion effectively. In this paper, current researches of common polymer cervical interbody fusion cages were reviewed, including non-biodegradable cages made of polyetheretherketone, polyamide, polyethylene and polyacrylate, as well as biodegradable polylactic acid and amino acid copolymer cages.
