Abstract:Purpose: Improved Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) surgery outcomes can be achieved with precise anatomical and biomechanical models. Traditional cadavers, limited by scarcity and cost, may not fully meet specific anatomical needs. Patient-tailored 3D-printed spine models offer a promising alternative. This study, leveraging medical image segmentation, CAD, and advanced 3D printing techniques, explores the potential of patient-specific 3D-printed spine models.Materials & Methods: 3DSlicer was used for image segmen… Show more
