AbstractFusion with a titanium mesh cage (TMC) has become popular as a conventional method after cervical anterior corpectomy, but postoperative TMC subsidence has often been reported in the literature. We designed a novel anatomic cervical TMC to reduce the postoperative subsidence rate. According to the test process specified in the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) F2267 standard, three-dimensional finite element analysis was used to compare the anti-subsidence characteristics of a traditional TMC (TTMC) and novel TMC (NTMC). Through analysis, the relative propensity values of a device to subside (Kp) of the TTMC and NTMC were 665.5 N/mm and 1007.2 N/mm, respectively. A higher Kp measurement is generally expected to indicate that the device is more resistant to subsidence into a vertebral body. The results showed that the novel anatomic titanium mesh cage (NTMC) significantly improved the anti-subsidence performance after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), which was approximately 51.3% higher than that of the traditional titanium mesh cage.
