Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effectiveness of using a 3D-printed guide plate in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) surgery compared to traditional methods.
- A review of 162 patients showed that the 3D printing technique resulted in fewer needle punctures, shorter operation and fluoroscopy times, and better early recovery metrics like lower back pain and disability scores.
- The findings suggest that the 3D-printed guide offers advantages in efficiency and patient outcomes, although it did not significantly affect blood loss or overall fusion rates.
Application of a new body surface-assisting puncture device in percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy.

Background: Accurate puncture and localization are critical for percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy surgery. However, several punctures are often required, followed by X-ray fluoroscopy, which can increase surgical risk and complications. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a new body surface-assisting puncture device that can be used in percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy and to assess its clinical effectiveness.

Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is believed to be a promising scaffold material for dental and orthopedic implantation due to its ideal biocompatibility and high osteoconductivity. However, any severe inflammation response can lead to loosening and fall of implantation, which cause implant failures in the clinic.

Methods: From December 2013 to September 2020, 92 patients (male 42, female 50) who were diagnosed with BI were studied retrospectively. Based on the imaging data of CT, the width and height of the axis pedicle and the sagittal diameter of the lateral mass were measured in each patient.
