So is the philosophy of the first quote BS? Arguing the efficacy of bone in-growth and biological fixation in the case of a spinal fusion.

Tritanium cages, used in spinal fusion, exhibited significantly greater bone in-growth and biological fixation capabilities compared to traditional PEEK cages, and plasma-sprayed titanium-coated PEEK cages in sheep.

Then why is stryker arguing this as advantageous?

Then Why In the US is it UNACCEPTABLE to not use a graft window in this procedure?

However, PEEK alone is chemically inert, forming a biofilm layer that inhibits binding to the host bone



short-term stability due to friction and long-term stability due to cell adhesion leading to the growth of bone onto the surface of the implant
