Implementation of 3D printing technology for complex spine revision cases that require multilevel anterior spinal support: Over 5-year experience in six cases and costs assessment
Custom-made prostheses appear to be a viable treatment option for multi-level anterior spinal support. No implant failure was observed up to 8 years postoperative. Close collaboration between an in-house 3D lab and the surgical team was essential for implementing custom-made prosthesis in clinical care.
