Abstract: large animal model sheep experiments validated an obvious piezoelectric effect on osseointegration for PVDF/PLA/BTO cages. After three-month implantation, it presented promoted new bone formation with a bone volume of 76.8 % in contrast with that of 49.3 % in PEEK counterpart. Therefore, the current study highlights a promising material for intervertebral fusion cages with good biomimetic mechanical performance and spinal osseointegration effect.
