3D printing is no longer a novelty, and since its inception, it has found very broad applications. The shadow of 3D printing can be seen across all industries, whether in construction, industry, or even medical, where there are examples of its application.
Even using 3D printing to replace the spine isn't something new; Chen Yu had heard as early as 2016 that a orthopedic surgeon at the Imperial Capital's Third Hospital used 3D printing technology to print multiple segments of thoracolumbar vertebrae, completed a 19-centimeter-long span of support on a patient's spine to replace completely removed vertebral bodies, completing the world's first surgery of implanting a 3D-printed artificial spine.
Therefore, using this technology to replace removed vertebral bodies and using it in surgery poses no problem.
