Accuracy and cost comparison of 3D-printed guides in complex spinal deformity correction: direct vs indirect design
Both direct and indirect 3D-printed guides can optimize screw implantation and complex osteotomy procedures, improving the accuracy of pedicle screw placement and osteotomy. However, the direct guide group has clinical limitations such as extended design cycles, increased printing time, and expanded surgical field exposure.
