Abstract
A carbon fiber stackable cage system is presented to promote the reconstruction of the anterior column after vertebrectomy or corpectomy in tumor and trauma surgery. Modularity, immediate stability, early fusion of the graft, radiolucency, and no risk of disease transmission are the main advantages of this system.
