Retrospective analysis of custom 3D-printed drill guides and titanium plate use in spinal stabilization of eleven dogs
We demonstrated that custom 3D-printed drill guides and titanium plates can provide a safe peri-operative alternative for surgical spinal stabilization of dogs with vertebral column instability due to congenital vertebral malformations. Further research is needed to describe long-term outcomes of this surgical technique on patient health.
