| Abstract | ||||
| Study design: A retrospective study Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of fusion as a management strategy for degenerative lumbar disc disease will be assessed by comparing the outcomes achieved with a titanium cage and a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage. Overview of Literature: As a standard treatment for multiple lumbar degenerative disorders, lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) is performed by spine surgeons. Methods: This retrospective research enrolled thirty cases with degenerative lumbar disc disease. Half of the patients treated using titanium cage while the other half treated using PEEK cage in Benha University Hospital and Elhelal hospital from 1/5/2023 to 30/10/2023. Results: This research observed a statistically significant rise in titanium cage group than peek cage group regarding hematoma formation and neuropathic pain while no statistically significant variance among the groups in this research in terms of operative time, hospital stays, dural tear, nerve root injury and infection. Statistically significant decrease was obtained in VAS for back pain Titanium cage group & in peek cage group. And relating to the comparison of VAS for back pain among both groups in the research, a statistically significant variance at 12 months vas score. Conclusion: Interbody fusion success over time was comparable following use of both titanium and PEEK cages. We concluded that Titanium and PEEK are equally effective options for managment of degenerative lumbar disc disorder. Key words: PEEK cages, Titanium Cage, LIF | ||||
