Carbon-fiber reinforced PEEK instrumentation for spondylodiscitis: a single center experience on safety and efficacy

Abstract Radiolucent carbon-fiber-reinforced (CFR) polyethyl-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has been established in spinal instrumentation for oncological reasons. Laboratory data reported comparable bacterial adhesion as titanium. Thus, using of CFR-PEEK spinal instrumentation for spondylodiscitis bases...
