Abstract
An interbody cage, which has lattice-like or grid-like areas for better connection/fusion into the area of the vertebra. The cage has especially an outer frame, which includes massive support parts and, and an inner grid body. The frame determining the outer contour and the lattice or grid areas located within same are made in one piece. The cage is prepared by sintering, such as by electron beam melting or laser sintering.
