3D-Printed Patient-Specific Guides: Summary of Clinical Results

Spine surgery has evolved significantly over the years with advancements in technology, including the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing. 3D printing is being utilized in a new cutting-edge way that allows for the creation of patient-specific surgical guides for spine surgery. These guides are designed based on the patient’s anatomy, providing precise guidance to the surgeon during the surgical procedure. In this chapter we provide a review of the clinical results related to the use of 3D printing in spine surgery using articles published in the last 10 years (2013–2023) to ensure the most up-to-date information.
