Development of Biocompatible Implants Using 3D Printing Technology for Anterior Cervical Fusion
摘要
This research analyzes the application of 3D-printed implants made from biocompatible materials for anterior cervical fusion procedures. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion is a common surgical intervention for various cervical spine conditions, which requires the use of implants to achieve spinal stability and promote fusion. However, traditional implants may not be customizable to individual anatomical requirements and may not be biocompatible, leading to limitations in patient outcomes. The development and application of 3D printing technology to create patient-specific implants tailored to individual anatomical requirements is explored in this research. Using 3D printing, implants can be customized precisely to match patient anatomy, optimize fit, and enhance osseointegration. Furthermore, biocompatible materials ensure that the implants are compatible with surrounding tissues and minimize the risk of adverse reactions while promoting bone healing. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of 3D-printed biocompatible implants for anterior cervical fusion through computational modeling, and experiment. The use of 3D-printed biocompatible implants for anterior cervical fusion offers potential benefits in terms of surgical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and long-term spinal health.
