Orthopedic Spinal Fixation Vertebral Hook Medical Instrument

Introduction:

The intervertebral fusion cage is a large, hollow cylinder made of high-grade metal, typically titanium. It functions as a "cage" where bone graft can be placed inside to facilitate spinal fusion between two vertebrae. The specialized perforations throughout the cage allow bone to form around and through the structure, creating a solid connection between vertebrae.

Modern designs accommodate both traditional open incisions and laparoscopic procedures. Laparoscopic approaches utilize smaller incisions and specialized camera systems, potentially reducing tissue damage and accelerating recovery times.
