Clinical efficacy of 3D-printed guide plates in single-level lumbar degenerative disease: a retrospective comparative study

Puntos clave

• Clinical efficacy improved with 3D-printed guide plates in lumbar degenerative disease compared to traditional techniques.
• Notable improvement of 20% in surgical accuracy when using 3D-printed guide plates for lumbar surgeries.
• Retrospective comparative study analyzing 150 patients, highlighting better outcomes with 3D-printed interventions.
• Implications suggest that 3D-printing may enhance surgical precision; further validation needed across diverse settings.
