- Abstract:
- Objective To evaluate the efficacy of 3D printing technique for severe scoliosis in children. Methods The clinical and imaging data were retrospectively analyzed for hospitalized children with severe scoliosis treated from September 2013 to September 2017. Operations were performed by the same surgeon. And patient age (month), operative duration (min), frequency of intraoperative fluoroscopy, Cobb’s angle (degree) before and after operation, correction rate of scoliosis and intraoperative injuries of pleural, dura, nerve root and spinal cord were recorded. They were divided into 3D printing (n=19) and non-3D printing (n=24) groups according to the preoperative 3D printing model. The 3D printing group had 8 boys and 11 girls with an average age of 146.7(83-200) months while the non-3D printing group had 13 boys and 11 girls with an average age of 148.5(94-187) months. Results The operative duration of 3D printing group was shorter than that of non-3D printing group (222±16.16 vs. 238.96±30.75 min, P<0.05). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopy was significantly lower in 3D printing group than that in non-3D printing group (4.58±0.90 vs. 6.46±0.93, P<0.05). No significant inter-group difference existed in correction rate of scoliosis (72.02±9.35% vs. 68.89±7.83%, P>0.05) and pleural/dura injury (P>0.05). And there was no injury of nerve root or spinal cord. Conclusion No significant inter-group difference exists in correction effect or complications in children with severe scoliosis. However, intraoperative fluoroscopy is less frequent and operative duration shorter.
