Three-dimensional printing (3DP) is increasingly used in spine surgery for planning and personalized guides. While its benefits for patient education and surgical planning are evident, more randomized clinical trials are needed to solidify its role.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has emerged as a transformative technology in various medical fields.
  • Its application in spinal surgery is gaining traction, necessitating a review of its current uses and impact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct an updated systematic review on the utilization of 3D printing in spinal surgery.
  • To analyze the types of spinal conditions and surgical applications where 3DP has been employed.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature review was conducted using the PubMed database.
  • Searches included articles from 2014-2024 focusing on "Spine Surgery" and "3DP", with English and Spanish clinical trials selected.
  • The review adhered to the PRISMA guidelines.

Main Results:

  • Ten articles met the inclusion criteria, primarily focusing on deformities (3), traumas (3), and degenerative diseases (2).
  • Key applications included personalized guides for screw insertion (6 articles), surgical planning (2 articles), and medical education (2 articles).

Conclusions:

  • Three-dimensional printing is a valuable tool in spinal surgery, particularly for enhancing patient education and surgical planning.
  • Despite positive effects, the body of randomized clinical trial evidence remains limited.
