The success of spinal fusion surgery relies on the precise placement of bone grafts and minimizing scatter. This study aims to optimize cage design and bone substitute filling methods to enhance surgical outcomes. A 3D printed lumbar spine model was utilized to implant 3D printed cages of different heights (8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, and 14 mm) filled with BICERA® Bone Graft Substitute mixed with saline. Two filling methods, SG cage (side hole for grafting group, a specially designed innovative cage with side hole, post-implantation filling) and FP cage (finger-packing group, pre-implantation finger packing, traditional cage), were compared based on the weight of the implanted bone substitute. The results showed a significantly higher amount of bone substitute implanted in the SG cage group compared to the FP cage group. The quantity of bone substitute filled in the SG cage group increased with the height of the cage. However, in the FP cage group, no significant difference was observed between the 12 mm and 14 mm subgroups. Utilizing oblique lumbar interbody fusion cages with side holes for bone substitute filling after implantation offers several advantages. It reduces scatter and increases the amount of implanted bone substitute. Additionally, it effectively addresses the challenge of insufficient fusion surface area caused by gaps between the cage and endplates. The use of cages with side holes facilitates greater bone substitute implantation, ultimately enhancing the success of fusion. This study provides valuable insights for future advancements in oblique lumbar interbody fusion cage design, highlighting the effectiveness of using cages with side holes for bone substitute filling after implantation.
