G+_George Kozi Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Originally shared by Brent Newhall A Croatian man developed cancer in a vertebra. This is very painful and it's extremely hard to replace a person's vertebra because each one is a unique shape. The prognosis in these cases is usually grim. So the hospital 3D printed an exact match for the vertebra and replaced it. The patient now reports having no pain. http://3dprint.com/96474/acrylic-3d-printed-vertebra/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
