What is Novel 3D printed lattice structure titanium cages evaluated in an ovine model of interbody fusion about?
## Abstract ## Background The use of intervertebral cages within the interbody fusion setting is ubiquitous. Synthetic cages are predominantly manufactured using materials such as Ti and PEEK. With the advent of additive manufacturing techniques, it is now possible to spatially vary complex 3D geometric features within interbody devices, enabling the devices to match the stiffness of native tissue and better promote bony integration. To date, the impact of surface porosity of additively manufactured Ti interbody cages on fusion outcomes has not been investigated. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine the effect of implant endplate surface and implant body architecture of additive manufactured lattice structure titanium interbody cages on bony fusion. ## Methods Biomechanical, microcomputed tomography, static and dynamic histomorphometry, and histopathology analyses were performed on twelve functional spine units obtained from six sheep randomly allocated to body lattice or surface lattice groups. ## Results Nondestructive kinematic testing, microcomputed tomography analysis, and histomorphometry analyses of the functional spine units revealed positive fusion outcomes in
