The International Journal of Spine Surgery has released a special issue featuring a collection of articles focused on personalized medicine in spinal surgery. Here's a paragraph from their introduction to these articles: "Although the “one-size-fits-all” mentality may enhance the standardization of different areas of medicine, this concept must be carefully reconsidered in the surgical treatment of spinal disease. The diversity of spinal pathologies, differences in symptomatology for similar spinal conditions, patient-specific factors such as comorbidities, and multiple treatment options of mixed efficacy all impact the effort to standardize treatment. As a consequence, outcomes in spinal surgery can be inconsistent, and increasing acknowledgment of these issues has spawned the growth of personalized medicine with the hopes of improving outcomes. … With current technology, preplanning now allows for the production of patient-specific implants. Three-dimensional custom-printed implants tailored to an individual patient’s anatomy and biomechanical requirements can allow for minimal removal of surrounding structures and preservation of normal anatomy during implantation. This could optimize fusion and radiographic alignment. ... These articles highlight recent advancements in enabling technologies and optimization strategies that form the basis of contemporary personalized medicine within spinal surgery. As spine care advances, the role of personalized medicine in spinal surgery will likely become more pervasive with the ultimate goal of improving outcomes."

Complicated revisions demand effective solutions. Revision surgeries are a reality in the world of spinal fusion. The problem is that once an intervention has failed, there is a significant risk of future revisions failing - 70% of 1st revisions fail, 85% of 2nd revisions fail, and 95% of 3rd revisions fail (Daniell and Osti 2018). Most importantly, with each revision the patient’s quality of life worsens. For this reason, the new implant should immediately stabilise the joint and have increased bone-to-device contact area to enhance faster fusion and reduce the risk of further complications. This is a particular challenge when the anatomy has changed in unpredictable ways. A 39-year-old man experienced this firsthand after his disc replacement failed resulting in wear debris and bone breakdown. The surgeon chose a patient specific implant to fit the expanded intervertebral space, which had a multitude of bone voids and turrets. The post operative scans show successful realignment and fusion. Patient specific implants can be used to tackle the unique challenges of revision surgeries, thereby minimising the likelihood of reoccurrence and enhancing patient outcomes. #SpineSurgery #SpineHealth #PatientSpecific

In spinal fusion, small improvements make a big difference. For 25 years, a woman lived in constant pain from an initial whiplash injury, "My brain learned new pathways knowing I was always in pain”. She suffered neck pain from loss of disc height, loss of lordotic angle, and subchondral bone remodelling of C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7. A triple level fusion is a major operation with many potential complications. As 3DMorphic can design the planned realignment into the implants, the surgeon opted to use patient-specific devices. Post-operative scans showed: - Restoration of normal neck curvature, decompressing the spinal cord. - Symmetrical device positioning. - Uniform behaviour across the three operated levels. Together, these improvements protect from further degenerative disease by reducing abnormal angulation of adjacent disc levels. The surgeon commented, “The plain X-rays look good, showing a nice restoration of cervical lordosis". The patient was ecstatic that her pain continued to reduce at seven months after the procedure, saying "Even people around me have noticed a difference in my confidence.” She's now more active and social, and not living in a constant state of severe pain. Her journey illustrates that a series of small corrections, designed into the implant, can produce subtle improvements which combine to create a remarkable outcome. #SpineSurgery #SpineHealth #PatientSpecific

A big misconception is that patient specific implants need a lot of time to manufacture. Maybe this example can challenge this preconception.  During a football game, a 31-year-old male was tackled, landed on the top of his head and suffered a burst fracture to his C7 vertebral body. This resulted in spinal cord compression and potential life-long paralysis. 3DMorphic's just-in-time manufacturing enabled a patient specific implant to be produced fast enough to treat this emergency trauma case. This debunks the myth that such implants are exclusively for scheduled procedures with ample lead time. Having the possibility of patient specific devices (made for the patient's anatomy and specific pathology) is a paradigm shift in the treatment of trauma cases like this one. It allows for tailored solutions to complex injuries, improving patient outcomes and reducing recovery time. #SpineSurgery #SpineHealth #PatientSpecific
