Abstract
Purpose of review: To summarize the history of titanium implants in spine fusion surgery and its evolution over time.
Recent findings: Titanium interbody cages used in spine fusion surgery have evolved from solid metal blocks to porous structures with varying shapes and sizes in order to provide stability while minimizing adverse side effects. Advancements in technology, especially 3D printing, have allowed for the creation of highly customizable spinal implants to fit patient specific needs. Recent evidence suggests that customizing shape and density of the implants may improve patient outcomes compared to current industry standards. Future work is warranted to determine the practical feasibility and long-term clinical outcomes of patients using 3D printed spine fusion implants. Outcomes in spine fusion surgery have improved greatly due to technological advancements. 3D printed spinal implants, in particular, may improve outcomes in patients undergoing spine fusion surgery when compared to current industry standards. Long term follow up and direct comparison between implant characteristics is required for the adoption of 3D printed implants as the standard of care.
综述的目的:总结脊柱融合手术中钛植入物的历史及其随时间的演变:脊柱融合手术中使用的钛椎体间架已从实心金属块发展为形状和尺寸各异的多孔结构,以提供稳定性,同时最大限度地减少不良副作用。技术的进步,尤其是 3D 打印技术的发展,使高度定制化的脊柱植入物得以问世,以满足患者的特殊需求。最近的证据表明,与目前的行业标准相比,定制植入物的形状和密度可能会改善患者的治疗效果。未来的工作需要确定使用 3D 打印脊柱融合植入物的实际可行性和患者的长期临床疗效。由于技术的进步,脊柱融合手术的效果得到了极大改善。与目前的行业标准相比,3D 打印脊柱植入物尤其可以改善脊柱融合手术患者的治疗效果。要将 3D 打印植入物作为护理标准,还需要进行长期随访并直接比较植入物的特性。
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most significant recent developments in the field of musculoskeletal medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by expert world-renowned authors, the journal aims to serve all those involved in the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of musculoskeletal-related conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as rehabilitation of the knee and hip, sports medicine, trauma, pediatrics, health policy, customization in arthroplasty, and rheumatology. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 20 diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
