Abstract
This study provides support that the addition of a PTC coating to a zero-profile PEEK lumbar interbody spacer facilitates rapid and stable fixation at the bone-implant interface. This facilitated osteogenesis is associated with significantly improved pain outcomes, low implant subsidence and a high definitive rate of arthrodesis. Future studies should include a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center approach to directly compare arthrodesis rates and clinical outcomes longitudinally between standard PEEK and biomaterial-coated PEEK interbody spacer systems.
