Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for medical applications
TL;DR: The structural changes and the surface functionalization of PEEK materials and their most common biomedical applications are described and the possibility to use these materials in 3D printing process could increase the scientific interest and their future development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium vs. polyetheretherketone (PEEK) interbody fusion: Meta-analysis and review of the literature.
TL;DR: T titanium and PEEK cages are associated with a similar rate of fusion, but there is an increased rate of subsidence with titanium cage, and future prospective randomized controlled trials are needed to further evaluate these cages.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D-printed patient-specific applications in orthopedics.
TL;DR: Orthopedic surgeons should embrace the latest knowledge of the 3D printing technology and incorporate it into their clinical practice for patient-specific orthopedic applications as surgeons and researchers are increasingly utilizing the technology’s flexibility in manufacturing objects.

Bony ingrowth potential of 3D-printed porous titanium alloy: a direct comparison of interbody cage materials in an in vivo ovine lumbar fusion model
Kirk C. McGilvray,Jeremiah T. Easley,Howard B. Seim,Daniel P. Regan,Sigurd Berven,Wellington K. Hsu,Thomas E. Mroz,Christian M. Puttlitz +7 more
TL;DR: The 3Dprinted porous titanium interbody cage resulted in statistically significant reductions in ROM, increases in the bone ingrowth profile, as well as average construct stiffness compared with PEEK and PSP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma-sprayed titanium coating to polyetheretherketone improves the bone-implant interface
TL;DR: Direct bone to implant bonding can be achieved on PEEK in spite of its hydrophobic nature using a plasma-sprayed titanium coating and the titanium coating dramatically improved the shear strength at the bone-implant interface at 4 weeks and continued to improve with time compared with PEEK.
