The 3D Printed Template Assists Accuracy and Safety of Screw Placement in the Treatment of Pediatric Congenital Scoliosis: A Case Control Retrospective Study
Abstract:Background: Three-dimensional (3-D) printed templates are increasingly applied in spinal surgery, but are rarely used in the treatment of congenital scoliosis. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and safety of 3D printed template-assisted screw placement in the treatment of congenital scoliosis.Methods: A total of 67 patients with congenital scoliosis treated in our hospital between January 2017 to January 2019 were retrospectively included (mean age= 4.13±2.66 years, range: 2-15) and divided into the te… Show more
