The Barrow Biomimetic Spine: Fluoroscopic Analysis of a Synthetic Spine Model Made of Variable 3D-printed Materials and Print Parameters

Conclusion. This study is the first to demonstrate that 3D-printed VB and segmental spine models accurately mimic human tissue on C-arm fluoroscopy, not only in respect to their anatomical appearance in standard views but also in their response to surgical manipulation and the variations in C-arm angle that commonly occur in the operating room. As such, these spine models have the potential to serve as an excellent platform for future research and surgical education programs. Level of Evidence: N/A
