The study, published Dec. 13 in the Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, found that SpineBox facilitated nerve decompression, cage implantation and accuracy of the spinal construct in the procedures.
The 3D-printed implants achieved a 97.8 percent accuracy in the placement of pedicle screws.
All procedures were performed at a single level by the same spine surgeon over a period of 27 months.
The study noted some complications, including one intraoperative dural tear and six reoperations.
