A novel approach reported by Peter Pijpker and colleagues from the University Medical Center Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands, outlines the use of 3D virtual planning and 3D-printed models that have the ability to change how complex spinal surgeries are managed. Using this technique, surgeons were able to successfully reduce severe kyphosis in a young girl who suffers from skeletal dysplasia.

You can have a several talks on this at Spine Conference 2019 in Rome on April 25, 2019
