In morpheme based morphology linguistics morphology , a null allomorph or zero allomorph is a special kind of allomorph which has the form of a null morpheme . Because there are contexts in which the underlying representation underlying morpheme still appears in the surface structure , a real null morpheme could be re defined as a morpheme which never occurs in the surface representation of words. The phenomenon itself is known as null allomorphy or total morpheme blocking . ref http 169.229.248.181 dissertations Pycha dissertation 2008.pdf ref English An example of null allomorphy in English is the phrase two fish which can also be two fish es .

An interbody fusion cage colloquially known as a spine cage is a prosthesis used in spinal fusion procedures to maintain foraminal height and decompression. They are cylindrical or square shaped devices, and usually threaded. There are several varieties the Harms cage, Ray cage, Pyramesh cage, InterFix cage, and lordotic LT cage, all of which are made from titanium the Brantigan cage, made from carbon fibre and the Cortical Bone Dowel, which is cut from allograft femur . The cages can be packed with autologous bone material in order to promote arthrodesis . ref name SS114 Such implants are inserted when the space between the spinal discs is distracted, such that the implant, when threaded, is compressed like a screw. Unthreaded implants, such as the Harms and Pyramesh cages have teeth along both surfaces that bite into the end plates. ref name SS114 Once placed, the cages resist flexion and extension of the spine, and axial forces across the ventral and middle columns. ref name SS114 References references ref name SS114 cite book title Spine surgery techniques, complication, avoidance, and management volume 2 editor Edward C.
