    摘要: A method of making a biomedical implant comprising the steps of contacting a biomedical implant having a surface comprising titanium with an acidic solution comprising a titanium precursor capable of hydrolysis to titanium for a time sufficient to epitaxially grow titania nanorods on the surface. Preferably, the titanium precursor is selected from the group consisting of titanium butoxide, TTIP and titanium tetrachloride. Carrying out the method provides a biomedical implant having a surface having nanorods comprising at least 50% titania extending therefrom, wherein the nanorods terminate in a substantially conical tip, wherein the nanorods have a density on the implant of at least 10 nanorods/um2.

    摘要: An expandable intervertebral fusion cage is independently expandable vertically and laterally. The fusion cage includes a cage body that can receive an expansion member that causes the fusion cage to expand vertically. The cage body is responsive to a compressive force to move to an expanded lateral position, whereby the fusion cage defines a substantially circular annular profile.
