ASTM F2267 Evaluating Spinal Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices Under Axial Compression
Following disc degeneration, intervertebral body fusion devices can be used to help promote arthrodesis of a spinal motion segment. The medical device acts as a support of the anterior column while the two vertebral discs grow together and fuse the spine. Intervertebral Body Fusion is a more widely used technique than that of Intervertebral Disc replacement.
