Development and testing of an animal‐specific and string‐of‐pearls (<scp>SOP</scp>) plate specific, three‐dimensionally (<scp>3D</scp>) printed drilling guide: A proof of concept study for canine thoracolumbar spinal stabilization

With presurgical planning and the described drilling guides, spinal stabilization using a SOP plate may be a safe method of repair. The technique may allow for easier reduction and fixation of vertebral fractures/luxations, but further clinical studies are needed.
