SpineServ (Ulm, Germany) has led a first in a series of biomechanical tests comparing the modular concept of The Axis-ALIF to the established 1-piece cage designs.
Under the auspice of Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Wilke, one of the world’s leading experts in spine biomechanics, the resistance to implant expulsion was compared between a modular cage and a 1-piece cage.
The hypothesis being that due to its modular insertion technique, the Axis-ALIF cage would cause less structural damage to the endplates upon insertion, and as such see an increased push-out resistance when compared to 1-piece cages.
The study results are in the process of submission for publication in a peer-reviewed medical journal.
