A member asked:
What is a cage? cousin has spina bifida she had horrid infection where rods were placed. so doc cleaned infection and put on a cage on open wound.

Spina bifida : The cage is a spacer to replace a collapsed disc space or vertebral body. The infection can be treated with antibiotics even with the cage in place. Ask the surgeon to show you the films to help explain the problem.
