Body Parts That Can Be Made With A 3-D Printer

Vertebrae

Spinal injuries can cause major issues in a person’s lifestyle, and dealing with spine issues can be a very delicate process on the part of the doctor. One slip up could mean affecting a person’s ability to walk or even use their arms and fingers.

Fortunately, advances have been made that provide possible solutions for some of these issues. With the capability of making exact replicas of a damaged or shifting spine, doctors can make more accurate analyses of what kind of treatment would be best for the patient, without putting them at risk. More recently, surgeries have actually been done giving people new vertebrae created from a 3-D printer.
