Table 1 Comparison of common interbody cage options for spinal fusion

Cage type	Material	Osseointegration	Elasticity	Radiolucency	Subsidence risk (theoretical)
Standard PEEK cage	PEEK	Inert	Bone-like	Excellent	Low
Porous titanium/three-dimensional-printed titanium cage	Titanium alloy	Excellent	Higher	Fair/poor	Moderate
PEEK-titanium composite cage	PEEK, titanium	Moderate/good	Variable	Good	Low/moderate
Expandable cage	Titanium, PEEK, or both	Variable	Variable	Variable	Variable
Double-cage construct	PEEK, PEEK-titanium composite	Moderate/good	Variable	Good	Potentially low

PEEK: Polyetheretherketone.
