Abstract
Interbody fusion devices and related methods of manufacture are described herein. An example interbody fusion device can include a plurality of vertebral endplates, and a body extending between the vertebral endplates. The body and the vertebral endplates can define an internal cavity. Additionally, each of the vertebral endplates can include a lattice structure and a frame surrounding the lattice structure, where the lattice structure being configured to distribute load. Each of the vertebral endplates can also include a plurality of micro-apertures having an average size between about 2 to about IO micrometers (μm), and a plurality of macro-apertures having an average size between about 300 to about 800 micrometers (μm).
