## Abstract The functionality of a new metallic interbody fusion implant manufactured out of porous nitinol (PNT) was evaluated in sheep and compared to a conventional titanium intervertebral cage packed with autologous iliac crest bone. Both device types were implanted at two non‐contiguous interv

Fourteen titanium porous-coated implants with a cylindrical shape (length 22 mm and diameter 5\_+0.3 mm) were prepared. Bead size was 250-350 gm. Seven implants were plasma-sprayed with hydroxyapatite and the other seven remained uncoated. Implants, both hydroxyapatite-coated and uncoated, were rand
## Abstract No options are available for local antibiotic delivery from uncemented implants. By loading a porous titanium implant with a biomimetic HA‐coating (PeriApatite, PA) with antibiotics, we could obtain adequate local antibiotic concentrations and reduce infection susceptibility. This study
