Patients Experiencing Better Recovery with 3D Printed Spinal Implants
“The spine is one of the most important bones in the human body. If something goes wrong with the spine, it affects the entire body – and there are many things that can go very wrong with the spine. Recent developments have made these conditions easier to treat, however, and 3D printing is a big part of that. Traditionally, spinal implants have been prefabricated, off-the-shelf types, which often cause problems after implantation as they don’t always fit properly. 3D printing, however, enables the creation of patient-specific implants that fit perfectly into a patient’s anatomy, greatly reducing the likelihood of pain or complications…”
