3D Printer Assisted C1-C2 Posterior Spinal Fusion

Abstract

Odontoid fractures often occur after trauma. The vascular and neural structures that are close in the cases planned for surgery increase the complications of the operation. With the recent technological advances, anatomic simulations with 3D printers have enabled the operation to be performed in less time with less risk in order to perform safer surgery. We performed a posterior C1-C2 fusion procedure in a 62-year-old patient who developed odontoid fracture after trauma with the help of anatomical simulation we wrote with a 3D printer and we wanted to present this case.

3B Yazıcı Destekli C1-C2 Posterior Spinal Füzyon

Abstract

Odontoid kırıklar sıklıkla travma sonrası ortaya çıkmaktadır. Cerrahi planlanan vakalarda yakın bulunan vaskuler ve nöral yapılar operasyonun komplikasyonlarını arttırmaktadır. Son dönemde artan teknolojik gelişmeler ile birlikte daha güvenli cerrahi yapılabilmesi için 3 boyutlu yazıcılar ile anatomik simülasyonlar operasyonun daha az riskle daha kısa zamanda yapılabilmesi imkanını sağlamıştır. Biz 62 yaşında travma sonrası odontoid kırığı gelişen bir hastamızda posterior C1-C2 fuzyon işlemini 3boyutlu yazıcı ile yazdığımız anatomik simülasyon yardımı ile yaptık ve bu vakamızı sunmak istedik.
