The Use of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Instrumentation in Patients with Spinal Oncologic Tumors: A Systematic Review of Literature and Future Directions

CFR-PEEK possesses a similar safety and efficacy profile to titanium implants but has distinct advantages. It limits artifact, increases early detection of local tumor recurrence, increases radiotherapy dose accuracy, and is associated with low complication rates (9.96%)-making it a promising alternative for the demands unique to the treatment/outcome of spinal oncologic patients.
