The team here at Axis Spine Technologies has just returned from what has been a highly successful wet lab to validate the next round of instrument design updates of its ALIF modular technology.

With a stellar group of Surgeon Advisors, we have spent the last couple of days in Frisco, TX evaluating the instrumentation platform supporting the Alpha+ release of Axis' technology.

The wet lab facility and team at BaylorScott & White Medical Center in Frisco could not have been a better host for us, organized through the impeccable lead of Erik Pando. Thank you very much for having us!

New publication - Subsidence of spinal fusion cages: A systematic review of ALL lumbar approaches

Last week Ariane Parisien et al published a highly comprehensive and first of its kind systematic review of the literature looking at cage subsidence of all lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) techniques in the latest edition of the ISASS: The International Society for Advancement of Spine Surgery International Journal of Spine Surgery.

The amount of subsidence was compared and associated with the procedures and corresponding implants used, and the effect of cage subsidence on clinical outcomes was investigated.

Of interest, the authors didn’t include publications older than 2013 to ensure comparability of data, considering that medical and technical advancements over time could influence results.

The studies had to measure subsidence based on x-ray or CT images taken in the first few weeks following surgery and at the final follow-up, and articles must specify the last FU time frame (at a minimum of 6 weeks post-op) and their subsidence measuring scale.

40 articles were identified for inclusion. Review included data from 390 ALIF, 2130 LLIF, 560 PLIF, 245 OLIF and 1634 TLIF procedures.

The minimum and maximum percentages of the number of patients having subsidence for each procedure in the included studies were as follows: ALIF stand-alone, 6% and 23.1%; LLIF stand-alone, 8.7% and 39.6%; LLIF with posterior fixation, 3.3% and 20.7%; OLIF with posterior fixation, 4.4% and 36.9%; PLIF with posterior fixation, 7.4% and 31.8%; and TLIF, 0.0% and 51.2%.

They concluded that while number of patients experiencing subsidence varied between studies within each fusion procedure, their findings indicate that all 5 surgical methods are at risk of subsidence. 

Endplate stresses and higher forces applied on vertebral endplates were referred to as risk factors leading to endplate failure and subsequent subsidence.

An ongoing research topic in lumbar interbody fusion surgery...

Can vertebral endplate-conforming cages aid in preventing implant subsidence?

A recently published biomechanics study by Fernandes et al (Global Spine Journal (GSJ) 2022) found that patient-specific cages required higher compression forces to produce failure and increased the cage-endplate construct stiffness, decreasing subsidence risk.

Their research further supports data showing that endplate-matching interbody devices help decrease the risk of implant subsidence by increasing the contact area due to a better conformation of the endplate's concavity.

One study limitation perhaps to consider here is the fact that these cages were not implanted in a fully intact spine motion segment, but instead positioned on single vertebral endplates, which excluded the risk of potential endplate damage that may occur during implant insertion.
