Virtual Surgical Planning and Clinical 3D Printing from Medical Imaging for Orthopedic, Hand, and Spine Surgery

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate the role of virtual surgical planning (VSP) and clinical 3D printing (C3DP) in enhancing surgical precision and outcomes in orthopedic, hand, and spine surgeries. They detail the processes involved in VSP-C3DP, including image acquisition, segmentation, and model design, while providing case examples to illustrate its application in various surgical procedures. Additionally, the paper addresses the current limitations and future directions of these technologies in clinical practice.
