Medical 3D printing helps patients with rare disease Marfan syndrome straight up the waist

The 14-year-old girl, A Ying, has a rare Marfan syndrome (commonly known as "spider man") since she was born. Because of the scoliosis deformity, she can only walk and twist, and the length of her hands and feet is different from ordinary people. The family is troubled by this strange disease. On the 26th, the author learned from the Orthopaedic Center of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University that the experts corrected the operation of patients with scoliosis in Marfan syndrome through 3D printed vertebral body model and intraoperative guide navigation technology, helping Aying straighten up and also Spinal surgery injects elements of digital and precise treatment.

Marfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disease that is autosomal dominant. Most of the patients' limbs are slender and uneven, and their height is obviously higher than that of ordinary people. The arms are more than the length of the body, so they are called "spider people." This disease is often accompanied by skeletal abnormalities such as cardiovascular system abnormalities and scoliosis, and about 80% of patients have congenital cardiovascular malformations. In the past, statistics show that one-third of patients with Marfan syndrome died before the age of 32, and the average life expectancy was only 40 years. The majority of patients died of cardiovascular disease and cardiopulmonary failure caused by spinal deformity. . Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, more patients are treated.

After the operation, A Ying can stand up the waist.

Professor Zhu Lixin, deputy director of the Orthopaedic Center of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University, is a doctor of Aying. He introduced that Aying has typical symptoms and signs of Marfan syndrome, the most serious of which is lumbar scoliosis.

After comprehensive research, Zhu Lixin decided to use the latest 3D printing technology to navigate the operation. He said: "The 3D printed artificial vertebral body is reconstructed and fabricated according to the anatomical structure of Aying, which helps us to select the right position precisely."
