    The study evaluated the safety and feasibility of 3D-printed puncture guides in percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.

  • 2

    Patients using 3D-printed guides had shorter operation and puncture times, and lower rates of cement leakage compared to those using traditional methods.

  • 3

    The 3D-printed guide group showed significantly lower rates of nerve root injury and pedicle wall breaches during the procedure.

  • 4

    Postoperative anterior compression was significantly less in the 3D-printed guide group, indicating improved surgical outcomes.

  • 5

    Overall, 3D-printed guides enhance accuracy, reduce complications, and improve operational efficiency in vertebroplasty procedures.
