3D-printed guides versus computer navigation for pedicle screw placement in the surgical treatment of congenital scoliosis deformities

CONCLUSION: Both techniques achieve the purpose of precise screw placement and proper correction of the deformities. In contrast, the 3D-printed guide-assisted screw placement technique showed advantages in terms of operation time, screw placement time, intraoperative blood loss and patient satisfaction with outcomes.PMID:38378476 | DOI:10.1177/10225536241233785
