Personalized porous tantalum implants crafted via 3D printing: new horizons in complex cervical-thoracic spinal fusion
The use of 3D printed personalized porous tantalum implants in complex spinal fusion procedures is feasible and has shown significant benefits. Future research should focus on validating these results through larger cohorts and long-term follow-up to explore the broader application prospects.
