Abstract Background Different interbody grafts have been employed and evaluated for spinal fusion surgery. The Memory Metal Minimal Access Cage (MAC) is a hollow horseshoe shaped interbody fusion concept which provides a potentially major advantage with their small cage contact area and large graft space in comparison with other vertical cages. Methods This Biomechanical Cadaveric Study evaluates the primary stability and the amount of acute subsidence occurring in two new MAC cage designs; the Niti-l and Niti-s. Both cages were made of nitinol in the form of a wedge-shaped horseshoe with spikes on the edges. Differences were the higher weight and larger tranverse section area of the Niti-l due to his specific design with two different layers of thickness. Biomechanical axial compression tests were performed on ten fresh-frozen T11-L5 vertebral bodies. Results A direct relation between force at failure and BMD was found (p |
