Abstract

Interbody cages represent an invaluable technologic advancement in the field of spinal fusion surgery, particularly anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Interbody cages improve sagittal alignment, aid in fusion by allowing for containment of graft material, and restore biomechanical stability after discectomy. Various design iterations and materials have been used over the last two to three decades, and advancements in materials science and cage properties have provided improved functional utility of interbody cages in ACDF surgery. This chapter provides an overview of the history of cervical interbody cages, including improvements in design, material, and methods of manufacturing processes of cervical interbody cages that have yielded the designs most commonly utilized today.
