Description
I create custom detailed 3D-printe models designed specifically for Orthopedic /Neurosurgical spinal surgeons . These models are great for:
3D printed spinal models offer several powerful advantages to orthopedic/neuro spine surgeons — both in planning and in practice. Here’s why they’re increasingly valuable in the surgical world:
1. Preoperative Planning
• Patient-Specific Anatomy: Surgeons can study a 1:1 physical replica of a patient’s spine (from CT/MRI scans), including deformities, tumors, or anatomical anomalies.
• Better Decision-Making: Enables the team to simulate different surgical approaches (e.g., anterior vs. posterior) before entering the OR.
2. Intraoperative Guidance
• Orientation & Landmarks: Helps visualize vertebrae, disc spaces, nerve root exits, and surgical pathways in 3D.
• Custom Jigs/Guides: Surgeons can 3D print guides for screw placement or bone cuts, increasing accuracy and reducing intra-op imaging needs.
3. Patient Education
• Visual Aid: Models make it easier to explain conditions like scoliosis, herniated discs, or fractures to patients and families.
• Informed Consent: Patients understand procedures more clearly, which leads to better trust and reduced anxiety.
4. Training & Simulation
• Surgical Rehearsal: Surgeons (especially residents/fellows) can practice on realistic models, improving confidence and reducing errors.
• Teaching Tool: Spine models are great for workshops, medical schools, and device demonstrations.
5. Reduced OR Time & Risks
• Efficiency: A well-studied 3D model leads to faster decision-making during surgery.
• Precision: Especially helpful for complex spinal deformities, congenital issues, or revision surgeries.
Summary: 3D spine models = safer surgery, better training, smarter planning, and clearer communication.
