Three-dimensional printing (3DP) offers promising advancements for spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment. This technology enhances surgical precision and provides new options for patient care, improving outcomes in SCI management.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) present significant challenges due to limited nerve regeneration.
  • There is a critical need for innovative technologies to improve SCI treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the application of three-dimensional printing (3DP) in treating spinal cord injuries.
  • To evaluate the cost, efficacy, safety, and technological limitations of 3DP for SCIs.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was performed on Medline via PubMed for studies published since 2019.
  • Eleven studies involving 237 patients with various SCIs were included after screening 89 articles.
  • Risk of bias was assessed using the RoB2 tool and Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.

Main Results:

  • 3DP devices, including orthoses, fusion cages, and artificial vertebral bodies, were utilized across diverse SCI types.
  • Most studies reported positive treatment outcomes with 3DP interventions.
  • Procedure costs ranged from $65 to $5,000, indicating variable accessibility.

Conclusions:

  • Recent literature indicates positive outcomes with 3DP technologies in SCI treatment.
  • 3DP enhances both surgical and nonsurgical interventions, offering greater precision.
  • These advancements represent a new era in SCI care, improving patient outcomes.
