Abstract
The current study has demonstrated the differences in biomechanical characteristics of PEEK and Titanium rods construct when subjected to fatigue loading. More specifically, the result is indicative of the potential benefits of the PEEK rods construct in reducing the risks of adjacent segment disease and implant failure rates.
