The 3D virtual planning and 3D printing technique was feasible for the surgery of a complex spinal deformity and may help improve clinical outcomes in the future, the authors noted. A 3D-printed spine ...

After various tests were conducted her spine CT scan was uploaded to a laboratory in the US, who subsequently printed a model of her spine with a 3D printer and created patient-specific screw guides.

3D robotic spine 'twin' and sensor offer new way to preview surgical interventions Date: January 19, 2022 Source: Florida Atlantic University Summary: Researchers created a novel 3D printed ...

The spinal column consists of 33 vertebrae, which form pairs of precursor structures called somites. Somites give rise to not only our vertebrae, but also our ribs and skeletal muscles.

The patient-specific robotic spine model was based on a CT scan of the human spine. A modified artificial disc was ‘implanted’ into the cervical spine replica and the soft magnet was embedded ...

In the cervical spine surgical case, 3D printing not only provides exact anatomical details before the surgery, it also helps in planning the trajectory and size of screws and cages while aiding ...

MINNEAPOLIS - You can 3D print a shoe or a hand. Technology has brought us far enough into the future where researchers are 3D printing model body parts too. Now, science has taken one step ...

University of Minnesota researchers have broken new ground in the rapidly advancing field of 3D printing: Creating stem cell-infused scaffolds that could be implanted in spinal cords to repair nerve d ...

It is crucial the customised model of the patient's spine can be produced in a timely way, Associate Professor Adam said. “We are trying to get that time factor down to a day or two so we can ...

After conducting numerous tests, her spine CT scan was uploaded to a laboratory in the US, who subsequently printed a model of her spine with a 3D printer and created patient-specific screw guides.
