Vertebral body replacement using patient-specific 3D-printed polymer implants in cervical spondylotic myelopathy: an encouraging preliminary report

Resulting from recent studies that suggest a benefit of implant design on the achievement of fusion and stability in cervical spinal disease management, manufacturing development has increased over the past years. This paper attempts to describe how the development of patient-specific implants, which are used during the procedures of anterior cervical corpectomy and vertebral body replacement (VBR) impact the outcomes of cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) management.
