Problems solved by technology

[0004] Chinese Patent Publication Nos. CN1436518A and CN2561364A respectively announced the development process of cages made of polylactic acid or added hydroxyapatite as materials, but their strength and degradation performance need to be further improved, and the cages lack osteogenic activity.
However, the product still has the disadvantages of unstable mechanical properties, poor bone conduction ability, and inappropriate degradation rate.
Chinese Patent Publication No. CN101450015A relates to an intervertebral cage made of polylactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer PLGA and hydroxyapatite, but the mass ratio

Abstract

The invention discloses a composite material used for an interbody fusion cage and its preparation method. The composite material comprises by weight: 50-98% of poly(L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (L-PLGA), and 2-50% of hydroxyapatite (HA). With high strength and good osteoinductive activity, the fusion cage of the invention can be fully degraded and absorbed in vivo, thus being a new generation of absorbable interbody fusion cage which is of high strength and high bone fusion rate and can meet clinical application requirements.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical material manufacturing, and in particular relates to a high-strength bioactive absorbable intervertebral fusion device composite material and a preparation method. Background technique [0002] The intervertebral disc herniation and intervertebral instability caused by spinal degeneration are common and frequently-occurring diseases that plague human beings in today's society. After intervertebral disc herniation, it often causes instability between the vertebral bodies or narrowing of the intervertebral space. The intervertebral disc herniation compresses the nerves and causes long-term pain, which seriously affects the work and life of the patient. Over time, spondylolisthesis may occur , and even more serious consequences such as paralysis. Patients who do not respond to conservative treatment usually require intervertebral fusion surgery. Autologous bone grafting is the gold standard for spi...
