Hu PL, Lin JS, Meng H, et al. - This study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness and accuracy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) assisted by a “three-dimensional printed individual guide template” vs conventional PVP. Researchers included a total of 36 acute painful single segment osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients, and each group has 18 patients. They recorded fluoroscopy times for puncture points, total radiation dosages, total fluoroscopy time, and total operation time as the main evaluation factors to evaluate the two operation procedures. It was shown that “three-dimensional-printed individual guide template-assisted PVP” could minimize fluoroscopy shot times during operation and fluoroscopy dosage, shorten operation time, and is a more precise and feasible operation method in comparison with the conventional PVP.
