3D打印技术在脊柱外科的临床应用研究进展

Advances in clinical application of 3D printing technology in spinal surgery

3D打印技术在医学上的应用可能会极大地影响脊柱外科的手术方式。目前,3D打印技术已经被应用到术前和术中。在术前,3D打印技术可用来创建脊柱畸形的解剖精确模型;另外,这些解剖模型可用于复杂的脊柱病变的手术计划和模拟。3D打印的解剖模型可以提供比CT或MRI更好的解剖了解。在术中,3D打印已被用于创建手术引导系统、制作模板和定制特定形状的置入物。虽然3D打印技术仍面临着设备、材料昂贵的挑战,但这项技术具有改善患者预后、减少患者的辐射剂量等众多优点。本文主要介绍3D打印技术在脊柱手术中的临床应用及未来发展方向。

The application of 3D printing technology in medicine may greatly affect the surgical methods of spinal surgery.Currently,3D printing technology has been applied to preoperative and intraoperative.Before surgery,3D printing can be used to create precise anatomical models of spinal deformities.In addition,these anatomical models can be used to plan and simulate complex spinal lesions.3D printed anatomical models can provide better understanding of anatomy than CT or MRI.During surgery,3D printing has been used to create surgical guidance systems,create templates and customize specific shapes of implants.Although 3D printing technology still faces the challenge of expensive equipment and materials,this technology has many advantages such as improving patient prognosis and reducing the radiation dose of patients.This article mainly introduces the clinical application and future development of 3D printing technology in spine surgery.
