High Strength and Shape Memory Spinal Fusion Device for Minimally Invasive Interbody Fusions

Lumbar interbody fusion is widely employed for both acute and chronic spinal diseases interventions. However, large incision created during interbody cage implantation may adversely impair spinal tissue and influence postoperative recovery. The aim of this study was to design a shape memory interbody fusion device suitable for small incision implantation.
