3D-printed vertebrae helps Gurugram woman walk again
A 32-year-old woman, suffering from spinal tuberculosis, was able to walk again after the successful implantation of the country's first 3D-printed artificial vertebrae in Gurugram. The damaged vertebrae was replaced with a 3D-printed titanium vertebrae, which was customised according to the patient's original spine, to bridge the gap between the first and fourth cervical vertebrae.
