Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy between personalised 3-dimensional (3D) printed osteotomy and traditional osteotomy in periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). METHODS Twenty-two patients with acetabular dysplasia were randomly divided into a personalised 3D-printed osteotomy group and a traditional osteotomy group without 3D printing assistance. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, X-ray frequency, quantity of postoperative drainage, postoperative transfusion rate, hip angle and Harris hip score of 6 months postoperative were studied and compared to evaluate the surgical efficacy between personalised 3D-printed osteotomy and traditional osteotomy in periacetabular osteotomy. RESULTS The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, X-ray frequency, postoperative 24 h drainage volume in the personalised 3D-printed osteotomy group (114.70 ± 2.21 min, 639.70 ± 5.00 mL, 11.82 ± 0.42 times, 231.20 ± 3.86 mL) was superior to the traditional group (150.40 ± 2.45 min, 850.50 ± 5.34 mL, 17.09 ± 0.39 times, 324.30 ± 4.06 mL). There was a statistically significant difference between the 3D-printed osteotomy group and the traditional osteotomy group in terms of the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, X-ray frequency and postoperative 24 h drainage volume (p < 0.05). And there were no substantial differences in the hip angle and the 6-month postoperative Harris hip score between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The 3D-printed osteotomy template for PAO is a valid method and its short-term clinical effect is superior to that of traditional osteotomy.

Effects of degree of translation or rotation of acetabular fragment of periacetabular osteotomy procedure on pelvic X-ray parameters. J Hip Preserv Surg 2022; 9:172-177. [PMID: 35992031 PMCID: PMC9389912 DOI: 10.1093/jhps/hnac032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aims to investigate the effect of amount of lateralization and/or anteversion of the point where the iliac cut meets with the posterior column cut of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), on X-ray parameters such as Center of edge (CE) angle, retroversion index (RVI) and sharp angle. Fourteen patients with symptomatic hip dysplasia (CE° < 20°) were included. Pelvis Computerized tomography (CT) sections were used for 3D printing. PAO was then performed on these models. The point (A), 1 cm lateral to the pelvic brim, is marked where the iliac cut intersects the posterior column cut. In Group I (1.5–0), point A is lateralized parallel to the osteotomy line for 1.5 cm. In Group II (1.5–0.5), it is additionally anteverted for 0.5 cm. In Group III (3–0), point A is lateralized for 3 cm and then additionally anteverted for 1 cm (Group IV: 3–1). Radiographs were taken in each stage. The lateral CE angle, RVI and sharp angle were measured. All had an increase in the CE angle and RVI and a decrease in the sharp angle compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The amount of CE angle (ΔCE) or RVI increase (ΔRV) was as follows: 3–1(38°, 0.3) > 3–0(27°, 0.2) and 1.5–0.5(25°, 0.1) > 1.5–0(17°, 0.07) (P < 0.05) (with no difference between groups 1.5–0.5 and 3–0, P = 0.7). The amount of sharp angle decrease was as follows: 3–1(20°), 3–0(18°) < 1.5–0.5(11°) < 1.5–0(8°) (P < 0.05). The lateralization of the intersection point where the iliac wing cut meets with the posterior column cut along the cut surface led to an increase of lateral cover and focal retroversion. Additional anteversion leads to further increases in those parameters, while groups 1.5–0.5 and 3–0 did not differ between.

Abstract
Background With increasing requirements for medical effects, and huge differences among individuals, traditional surgical instruments are difficult to meet the patients' growing medical demands. 3D printing is increasingly mature, which connects to medical services critically as well. The patient specific surgical guide plate provides the condition for precision medicine in orthopaedics. Methods In this paper, a systematic review of the orthopedic guide template is presented, where the history of 3D-printing-guided technology, the process of guides, and basic clinical applications of orthopedic guide templates are described. Finally, the limitations of the template and possible future directions are discussed. Results The technology of 3D printing surgical templates is increasingly mature, standard, and intelligent. With the help of guide templates, the surgeon can easily determine the direction and depth of the screw path, and choose the angle and range of osteotomy, increasing the precision, safety, and reliability of the procedure in various types of surgeries. It simplifies the difficult surgical steps and accelerates the growth of young and mid-career physicians. But some problems such as cost, materials, and equipment limit its development. Conclusions In different fields of orthopedics, the use of guide templates can significantly improve surgical accuracy, shorten the surgical time, and reduce intraoperative bleeding and radiation. With the development of 3D printing, the guide template will be standardized and simplified from design to production and use. 3D printing guides will be further sublimated in the application of orthopedics and better serve the patients. The translational potential of this paper Precision, intelligence, and individuation are the future development direction of orthopedics. It is more and more popular as the price of printers falls and materials are developed. In addition, the technology of meta-universe, digital twin, and artificial intelligence have made revolutionary effects on template guides. We aim to summarize recent developments and applications of 3D printing guide templates for engineers and surgeons to develop more accurate and efficient templates.

Abstract
A solution for challenging hip dysplasia surgery could be a patient-specific 3D-printed shelf implant that is positioned extra-articular and restores the dysplastic acetabular rim to normal anatomical dimensions. The anatomical correction and biomechanical stability of this concept were tested in a canine model that, like humans, also suffers from hip dysplasia. Using 3D reconstructed computed tomography images the 3D shelf implant was designed to restore the radiological dysplastic hip parameters to healthy parameters. It was tested ex vivo on three dog cadavers (six hips) with hip dysplasia. Each hip was subjected to a biomechanical subluxation test, first without and then with the 3D shelf implant in place. Subsequently, an implant failure test was performed to test the primary implant fixation. At baseline, the dysplastic hips had an average Norberg angle of 88 ± 3° and acetabular coverage of 47 ± 2% and subluxated at an average of 83 ± 2° of femoral adduction. After adding the patient-specific shelf implants the dysplastic hips had an average Norberg angle of 122 ± 2° and acetabular coverage of 67 ± 3% and subluxated at an average of 117 ± 2° of femoral adduction. Implant failure after primary implant fixation occurred at an average of 1330 ± 320 Newton. This showed that the patient-specific shelf implants significantly improved the coverage and stability of dysplastic hips in a canine model with naturally occurring hip dysplasia. The 3D shelf is a promising concept for treating residual hip dysplasia with a straightforward technology-driven approach; however, the clinical safety needs to be further investigated in an experimental proof-of-concept animal study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE C1/2 cervical pedicle screw fixation is a well-known procedure for treating severely damaged and unstable C1/2 fractures. On the other hand, C1/C2 screw fixation is not safe and can lead to potentially disastrous consequences. The importance of personalized 3D printed navigational guides in avoiding these consequences cannot be overstated. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the neuroimaging data of 16 patients who had undergone fixation for treatment of C1/2 diseases. We created patient-specific C1/2 models and drill guide models using open-source 3D editing software and a desktop 3D printer. The drill guides were then placed over the respective vertebrae models and fixated with 3.5 mm screws. Following fixation, the parts were scanned with a thin-slice (01 mm) CT scan, and the screw trajectories in the transverse and sagittal planes were measured at each level. RESULTS Of the total of 62 screws, 58 were type I (93.54%), 4 were type II (6.45%), and no screws were type III (Tab 2). The results showed that there was no significant deviation in the screw trajectories and the accuracy of the drill guides was 93.54% (Table 3). In our study, type I and type II screws were deemed acceptable, and the acceptable rates of C1/2 screw fixation were 100%. CONCLUSIONS In this preclinical study, we demonstrated that it is possible to create patient-specific pedicle drill guides using open source editing software and a commercially available desktop PLA printer, resulting in high accuracy rates in pedicle screw placement in C1/2 patient models.

The "true" acetabular anteversion angle (AV angle): 2D CT versus 3D model. Int J Comput Assist Radiol Surg 2022; 17:2337-2347. [PMID: 35895212 PMCID: PMC9652210 DOI: 10.1007/s11548-022-02717-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Different factors can lead to inconsistencies in measurement for the acetabular version using 2D axial CT-cuts. We have defined a "true" anteversion angle (AV angle) in the physiological position of the pelvis in 3D with the largest European population measured to our knowledge. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed 258 hemipelvises and created 3D models. We compared the results of our AV angle 3D method with the cross-sectional cuts of the same acetabula. We included factors like side, sex, body mass index, and patient positioning. RESULTS Overall, the mean (SD) AV angle was 16.1 (5.9)° as measured with the 3D method and 22.0 (6.0)° as measured with the 2D method (p < 0.0001). Measured with both the 3D and the 2D method, the AV angle was significantly larger in female than in male individuals (p < 0.0001). In the 2D method, the AV angle estimation was influenced by the pelvic tilt. CONCLUSION We propose a more accurate method for the measurement of the AV angle of the acetabulum in a 3D model that is not influenced by patient positioning or pelvic tilt. We provide a computational model that will facilitate operative decisions and improve preoperative planning. We confirm that 3D measurement should be the gold standard in measuring the acetabular anteversion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Achieving adequate acetabular correction in multiple planes is essential to the success of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO). Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing has the potential to improve preoperative planning by accurately guiding intraoperative correction. The authors therefore asked the following questions: (1) For a patient undergoing a PAO, does use of 3D modeling with intraoperative 3D-printed models create a reproducible surgical plan to obtain predetermined parameters of correction including lateral center edge angle (LCEA), anterior center edge angle (ACEA), Tonnis angle, and femoral head extrusion index (FHEI)? and (2) Can 3D computer modeling accurately predict when a normalized FHEI can be achieved without the need for a concomitant femoral-sided osteotomy? METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on 42 consecutive patients that underwent a PAO. 3D modeling software was utilized to simulate a PAO in order to achieve normal LCEA, ACEA, Tonnis angle, and FHEI. If adequate FHEI was not achieved, a femoral osteotomy was simulated. 3D models were printed as intraoperative guides. Preoperative, simulated and postoperative radiographic ACEA, LCEA, Tonnis angle, and FHEI were measured and compared statistically. RESULTS A total of 40 patients had a traditional PAO, and 2 had an anteverting-PAO. The simulated LCEA, ACEA, Tonnis angle, and FHEI were within a median difference of 3 degrees, 1 degrees, 1 degrees, and 0% of postoperative values, respectively, and showed no statistical difference. Of those that had a traditional PAO, all 34 patients were correctly predicted to need a traditional acetabular-sided correction alone and the other 6 were correctly predicted to need a concomitant femoral osteotomy for a correct prediction in 100% of patients. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that for PAO surgery, 3D modeling and printing allow the surgeon to accurately create a reproducible surgical plan to obtain predetermined postoperative hip coverage parameters. This new technology has the potential to improve preoperative/intraoperative decision making for hip dysplasia and other complex disorders of the hip.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 3D-printing, or additive manufacturing has become increasingly popular across scientific and engineering fields. The same trend has been observed in the medical field, with the main users being the dentists and the neurosurgeons. Within orthopaedic surgery, usage has been limited by accessibility and costs. The benefits of a 3D printed model in surgical planning and education in orthopaedic surgery is obvious, especially in fields like deformity correction and fracture fixation. METHODS An in-house 3D-printing facility was set up, with workflow processes defined. We utilised the described workflow to 3D-print models for four paediatric orthopaedic patients with differing pathologies. RESULTS These case examples show how 3D-printing of surgical models was easily performed, and they are useful in various clinical scenarios within paediatric orthopaedics. The steps involved in the process are accurately detailed, and are reproducible by any orthopaedic surgeon. The benefits of the application of 3D models in the deformity assessment and surgical planning of these cases are discussed individually. CONCLUSIONS An in-house 3D-printing facility is useful in paediatric orthopaedics due to the variety of complex pathologies and anatomy. We have shown that it is easy to set up with a defined work process. We advocate the application of this emerging technology into every orthopaedic practice.

Abstract
Augmented reality (AR)-based surgical navigation may offer new possibilities for safe and accurate surgical execution of complex osteotomies. In this study we investigated the feasibility of navigating the periacetabular osteotomy of Ganz (PAO), known as one of the most complex orthopedic interventions, on two cadaveric pelves under realistic operating room conditions. Preoperative planning was conducted on computed tomography (CT)-reconstructed 3D models using an in-house developed software, which allowed creating cutting plane objects for planning of the osteotomies and reorientation of the acetabular fragment. An AR application was developed comprising point-based registration, motion compensation and guidance for osteotomies as well as fragment reorientation. Navigation accuracy was evaluated on CT-reconstructed 3D models, resulting in an error of 10.8 mm for osteotomy starting points and 5.4° for osteotomy directions. The reorientation errors were 6.7°, 7.0° and 0.9° for the x-, y- and z-axis, respectively. Average postoperative error of LCE angle was 4.5°. Our study demonstrated that the AR-based execution of complex osteotomies is feasible. Fragment realignment navigation needs further improvement, although it is more accurate than the state of the art in PAO surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Ganz' periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) consists of four technically challenging osteotomies (OT), namely, supraacetabular (saOT), pubic (pOT), ischial (iOT), and retroacetabular OT (raOT). PURPOSE We performed a proof of concept study to test (1) the feasibility of augmented reality (AR) guidance for PAO, (2) precision of the OTs guided by AR compared to the freehand technique performed by an experienced PAO surgeon, and (3) the effect of AR on performance depending on experience. METHODS A 3D preoperative plan of a PAO was created from segmented computed tomography (CT) data of an anatomic plastic pelvis model (PPM). The plan was then embedded in a software application for an AR head-mounted device. Soft tissue coverage was imitated using foam rubber. The 3D plan was then registered onto the PPM using an anatomical landmark registration. Two surgeons (one experienced and one novice PAO surgeon) each performed 15 freehand (FH) and 15 AR-guided PAOs. The starting point distances and angulation between the planned and executed OT planes for the FH and the AR-guided PAOs were compared in post-intervention CTs. RESULTS AR guidance did not affect the performance of the expert surgeon in terms of the mean differences between the planned and executed starting points, but the raOT angle was more accurate as compared to FH PAO (p = 0.0027). AR guidance increased the accuracy of the performance of the novice surgeon for iOT (p = 0.03). An intraarticular osteotomy performed by the novice surgeon with the FH technique could be observed only once. CONCLUSION AR guidance of osteotomies for PAOs is feasible and seems to increase accuracy. The effect is more accentuated for less-experienced surgeons. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This is the first proof of concept study documenting the feasibility of AR guidance for PAO. Based on these findings, further studies are essential for elaborating on the potential merits of AR guidance to increase the accuracy of complex surgical procedures.

Abstract
Background The paediatric patient population has considerable variation in anatomy. The use of Computed Tomography (CT)-based digital models to design three-dimensionally printed patient specific instrumentation (PSI) has recently been applied for correction of deformity in orthopedic surgery. This review sought to determine the existing application of this technology currently in use within paediatric orthopaedics, and assess the potential benefits that this may provide to patients and surgeons. Methods A review was performed of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL for published literature, as well as Web of Science and clinicaltrials.gov for grey literature. The search strategy revolved around the research question: “What is the clinical impact of using 3D printed PSI for proximal femoral or pelvic osteotomy in paediatric orthopaedics?” Two reviewers, using predetermined inclusion criteria, independently performed title and abstract review in order to select articles for full text review. Data extracted included effect on operating time and intraoperative image use, as well as osteotomy and screw positioning accuracy. Data were combined in a narrative synthesis; meta-analysis was not performed given the diversity of study designs and interventions. Results In total, ten studies were included: six case control studies, three case series and a case report. Five studies directly compared operating time using PSI to conventional techniques, with two showing a significant decrease in the number of intraoperative images and operative time. Eight studies reported improved accuracy in executing the surgical plan compared to conventional methods. Conclusion Compared to conventional methods of performing femoral or pelvic osteotomy, use of PSI has led to improved accuracy and precision, decreased procedure times, and decreased intra-operative imaging requirements. Additionally, the technology has become more cost effective and accessible since its initial inception and use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preservation surgery of the hip with open or arthroscopic approach has always been challenging as complex 3-D anatomy and limited surgical access make intraoperative evaluation difficult. Recent advances in computer technology offer a wide range of innovative solutions with a goal to improve accuracy and safety of corrective procedures on human joints. METHOD The author critically reviews currently available literature in the field of computer assistance in hip preservation surgery. Basic features of unique planning software and navigation surgical system used in treatment of femoroacetabular impingement and hip dysplasia are introduced. RESULTS Currently available software provides preoperative identification of hip deformity on CT-based 3-D model and planning of the surgical correction using kinematic protocols. Real-time intraoperative 3-D orientation is possible, and execution of surgical correction can be performed either with navigation of surgical tools or with printed templates. Computer assistance in hip preservation surgery is in the developing phase. First clinical experiences of its use in treatment of femoroacetabular impingement, hip dysplasia, hip tumors, and avascular necrosis of the femoral head are promising. CONCLUSION Computer assistance has been applied for treatment of several hip disorders. Technical advances are suggested and quality basic studies and clinical trials are encouraged for the novel technology to become more user friendly and widely accepted.

Three-Dimensional Digital Surgical Planning and Rapid Prototyped Surgical Guides in Bernese Periacetabular Osteotomy. Case Rep Orthop 2020; 2020:8897066. [PMID: 32607267 PMCID: PMC7315311 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8897066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Bernese periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) developed by Ganz is currently the treatment of choice for skeletally mature symptomatic patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) without osteoarthritis. However, the steep learning curve and considerable number of severe complications lead surgeons to seek for alternatives to promote greater reproducibility and safety of this procedure. This is a report of a DDH case surgically treated with the aid of a digital three-dimensional (3D) planning and rapidly prototyped sterile ABS plastic osteotomy guide, developed in Brazil. We present details regarding the planning, guide production, and surgical technique and report the early results of this treatment approach in a single patient. Digital 3D planning and rapidly prototyped surgical guides are applicable and helpful in PAO surgery as shown in this case. We noted no safety issues, good accuracy, and low production costs with this approach.

J Hip Preserv Surg 2019; 6:426-431.

Abstract
Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective surgical treatment for hip dysplasia. The goal of PAO is to reorient the acetabulum to improve joint stability, lessen contact stresses and slow the development of hip arthrosis. During PAO, the acetabulum is repositioned to adequately cover the femoral head. PAO preserves the weight-bearing posterior column of the pelvis, maintains the acetabular blood supply and retains the hip abductor musculature. The surgical technique needed to perform PAO is technically demanding, with correct repositioning of the acetabulum the most important—and challenging—aspect of the procedure. Imageless navigation has proven useful in other technically challenging surgeries, although its use in PAO has not yet been investigated. We have modified the standard technique for PAO to include the use of an imageless navigation system to confirm acetabular fragment position following osteotomy. Here, we describe the surgical technique and discuss the potential of this modified technique to improve patient-related outcomes.

Abstract
The goal of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is to reorient the acetabulum in a more physiological position. Its realization remains challenging regarding the final position of the acetabulum. Assistance with custom cutting- and reorientation-guides would thus be very helpful. Our purpose is to present a pilot study on such guides. Eight cadaveric hemipelvis were scanned using CT. After segmentation, 3D models of each specimen were created, a PAO was virtually performed and reorientation of the acetabula were defined. A specific guide was designed aiming to assist in iliac, posterior column and superior pubic ramus cuts as well as in acetabulum reorientation. Furthermore, the acetabular position was planned. Three-dimensional printed guides were used to perform PAO using the modified Smith-Peterson approach. The post-operative CT images and virtually planned acetabulum reorientation were compared in terms of acetabular index (AC), lateral centre edge angle (LCE), acetabular anteversion angle (AcetAV). There was no intra-articular or posterior column fracture seen. Two cadavers showed very low bone quality with insufficient stability of fixation and were excluded from further analysis. Correlation between the post-operative result and planning of the six included cadavers revealed the following mean deviations: 5° (SD ±3°) for AC angle, 6° (SD ±4°) for LCE angle and 15° (SD ±11°) for AcetAV angle. The use of 3D cutting and reorientation blocks for PAO was possible through a modified Smith-Peterson approach and revealed accurate fit to bone, accurate positioning of the osteotomies and acceptable planned corrections in cadavers with good bone quality.

Abstract
There are numerous orthopaedic applications of three-dimensional (3D) printing for the pelvis and acetabulum. The authors reviewed recently published articles and summarized their experience. 3D printed anatomical models are particularly useful in pelvic and acetabular fracture surgery for planning, implant templating and for anatomical assessment of pathologies such as CAM-type femoroacetabular impingement and rare deformities. Custom-made metal 3D printed patient-specific implants and instruments are increasingly being studied for pelvic oncologic resection and reconstruction of resected defects as well as for revision hip arthroplasties with favourable results. This article also discusses cost-effectiveness considerations when preparing pelvic 3D printed models from a hospital 3D printing centre.

Abstract
Clinical benefits for image-guided orthopaedic surgical systems are often measured in improved accuracy and precision of tool trajectories, prosthesis component positions and/or reduction of revision rate. However, with an ever-increasing demand for orthopaedic procedures, especially joint replacements, the ability to increase the number of surgeries, as well as lowering the costs per surgery, is generating a similar interest in the evaluation of image-guided orthopaedic systems. Patient-specific instrument guidance has recently gained popularity in various orthopaedic applications. Studies have shown that these guides are comparable to traditional image-guided systems with respect to accuracy and precision of the navigation of tool trajectories and/or prosthesis component positioning. Additionally, reports have shown that these single-use instruments also improve operating room management and reduce surgical time and costs. In this chapter, we discuss how patient-specific instrument guidance provides benefits to patients as well as to the health-care community for various orthopaedic applications.

Abstract
Three‐dimensional (3D) printing is a digital rapid prototyping technology based on a discrete and heap‐forming principle. We identified 53 articles from PubMed by searching “Hip” and “Printing, Three‐Dimensional”; 52 of the articles were published from 2015 onwards and were, therefore, initially considered and discussed. Clinical application of the 3D printing technique in the hip joint mainly includes three aspects: a 3D‐printed bony 1:1 scale model, a custom prosthesis, and patient‐specific instruments (PSI). Compared with 2‐dimensional image, the shape of bone can be obtained more directly from a 1:1 scale model, which may be beneficial for preoperative evaluation and surgical planning. Custom prostheses can be devised on the basis of radiological images, to not only eliminate the fissure between the prosthesis and the patient's bone but also potentially resulting in the 3D‐printed prosthesis functioning better. As an alternative support to intraoperative computer navigation, PSI can anchor to a specially appointed position on the patient's bone to make accurate bone cuts during surgery following a precise design preoperatively. The 3D printing technique could improve the surgeon's efficiency in the operating room, shorten operative times, and reduce exposure to radiation. Well known for its customization, 3D printing technology presents new potential for treating complex hip joint disease.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing enables the production of anatomically matched and patient-specific devices and constructs with high tunability and complexity. It also allows on-demand fabrication with high productivity in a cost-effective manner. As a result, 3D printing has become a leading manufacturing technique in healthcare and medicine for a wide range of applications including dentistry, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, engineered tissue models, medical devices, anatomical models and drug formulation. Today, 3D printing is widely adopted by the healthcare industry and academia. It provides commercially available medical products and a platform for emerging research areas including tissue and organ printing. In this review, our goal is to discuss the current and emerging applications of 3D printing in medicine. A brief summary on additive manufacturing technologies and available printable materials is also given. The technological and regulatory barriers that are slowing down the full implementation of 3D printing in the medical field are also discussed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pedicle screw fixation in the upper cervical spine is a difficult and high-risk procedure. The screw is difficult to place rapidly and accurately, and can lead to serious injury of spinal cord or vertebral artery. The aim of this study was to design an individualized 3D printing navigation template for pedicle screw fixation in the upper cervical spine. METHODS Using CT thin slices data, we employed computer software to design the navigation template for pedicle screw fixation in the upper cervical spine (atlas and axis). The upper cervical spine models and navigation templates were produced by 3D printer with equal proportion, two sets for each case. In one set (Test group), pedicle screws fixation were guided by the navigation template; in the second set (Control group), the screws were fixed under fluoroscopy. According to the degree of pedicle cortex perforation and whether the screw needed to be refitted, the fixation effects were divided into 3 types: Type I, screw is fully located within the vertebral pedicle; Type II, degree of pedicle cortex perforation is <1 mm, but with good internal fixation stability and no need to renovate; Type III, degree of pedicle cortex perforation is >1 mm or with the poor internal fixation stability and in need of renovation. Type I and Type II were acceptable placements; Type III placements were unacceptable. RESULTS A total of 19 upper cervical spine and 19 navigation templates were printed, and 37 pedicle screws were fixed in each group. Type I screw-placements in the test group totaled 32; Type II totaled 3; and Type III totaled 2; with an acceptable rate of 94.60%. Type I screw placements in the control group totaled 23; Type II totaled 3; and Type III totaled 11, with an acceptable rate of 70.27%. The acceptability rate in test group was higher than the rate in control group. The operation time and fluoroscopic frequency for each screw were decreased, compared with control group. CONCLUSION The individualized 3D printing navigation template for pedicle screw fixation is easy and safe, with a high success rate in the upper cervical spine surgery.
