Vertebral body replacement with PEEK-cages after anterior corpectomy in multilevel cervical spinal stenosis: a clinical and radiological evaluation

Introduction A growing number of industrially manufactured implants have been developed in the last years for vertebral replacement in anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF). Polyetheretherketone (PEEK)-cages are used in many centers, but outcome reports are scarce. This study assesses the clinical and radiological outcome after one- or two-level ACCF by the use of a PEEK-cage augmented by a plate–screw osteosynthesis.
