<p>A resorbing interbody fusion device (10) for use in spinal fixation is disclosed. The device (10) is composed of 25 % to 100 % bio-resorbing or resorbing material. A preferred resorbing spinal fusion device (10) is in the shape of a tapered wedge having a top face (11), a bottom face (12), side faces (13), a front end (14), and a back end (15). The surfaces of the top (11), and bottom (12) faces each have serration (16) to aid in anchoring the device (10) to the surrounding bone. The fusion device (10) preferably has holes (17) of convenient diameter to facilitate resorption of the polymer from which the device has been made.</p> |
