Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Cadaveric specimens for spinal surgery training are scarce, limiting research and education.
  • Patient-specific 3D models offer a potential solution for realistic anatomical replication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a cost-effective, patient-specific 3D-printed phantom for pathological spine surgery simulation.
  • To assess the fidelity and reliability of the phantom for surgical training.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized open-source software for 3D reconstruction from patient imaging data.
  • Employed desktop 3D printing with alginate and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) materials.
  • Conducted surgeon evaluations using a 20-item survey to assess phantom fidelity and intraoperative realism.

Main Results:

  • Phantoms demonstrated high fidelity, closely mimicking cadaveric specimens and intraoperative conditions.
  • Surgeon feedback was consistently positive, with minimal variation in ratings for content validity and reliability.
  • The average phantom cost was approximately $25.7, making it a cost-effective training tool.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 3D-printed spine phantom is a reliable, realistic, and affordable simulation model.
  • This technology has the potential to enhance surgical skills and reduce patient risk in trainee education.
