3D printing rebuilds cervical vertebrae movement function to "make massage" for metal materials
On May 25th, at the Science and Technology Achievements Conference of Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an Jiaotong University hosted the first prize of Shaanxi Science and Technology Award, “ 3D printing technology to reconstruct the clinical application and related research results of spinal cord function†and “micro-nano scaleâ€. The mechanical properties of the typical metal material and its internal mechanism" Two project team members introduced the relevant situation of the project.
Regarding the clinical application and related research results of 3D printing technology for reconstructing spinal cord function, "this project combined with metal 3D printing technology to develop a personalized dome-shaped titanium cage artificial cervical vertebra, innovatively proposed subtotal corpectomy in the world. After the movable vertebral body-intervertebral disc complex was implanted and reconstructed, the movable artificial cervical vertebrae and artificial caries joints were developed. The team member of the project is the second affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University School of Medicine. Hospital attending physician Cai Wei said.
Due to the high rate of collapse and the complications of traditional titanium cages, “developing 3D printed personalized dome titanium cages has higher precision, lowering the collapse rate and improving the curative effect.†Cai Wei introduced that there are more than 200 clinical cases. Application and follow-up data confirmed that the incidence of complications such as titanium cage collapse decreased from approximately 90% to 10%, which was significantly lower than that of conventional titanium cages.
Regarding the advantages of the movable artificial cervical vertebra, "the movable artificial cervical vertebra successfully preserves the cervical lateral flexion and rotational activity, reduces the adjacent segmental stress, and maintains the cervical biomechanical stability for a long time compared with the traditional fusion technique. It provides new ideas for solving the worldwide problem of loss of mobility after subtotal cervical and total decompression and fusion." Cai Wei said that in 2016, they launched the world's first movable artificial atlantoaxial joint replacement. "After postoperative patient's pain relief, nerve function recovery, cervical spine rotation is well preserved, which is the biggest advantage compared to the general surgery."
The mechanical properties of the typical metal materials at micro-nano scale and its internal mechanism project team member Liu Boyu introduced that the strong demand for miniaturization of functional devices in social development is driving the rapid development of micro-nano technology, and the demand for high-performance long-life devices is expected to be micro-nano. The theoretical knowledge system of scale material structure and performance was established as soon as possible. Repairing the defects inherent in these micro-nano materials is like "massing" a metal material. “However, there is no mature theoretical system to describe the mechanical properties and internal mechanisms of micro-nano-scale materials.â€
"On the one hand, we systematically studied the mechanical properties of typical metal materials at micro-nano scales and their potential physical mechanisms, and on the other hand proposed a targeted toughening strategy based on its plastic deformation mechanism." Liu Boyu said, "Our research has found that the defects inherent in these micro-nano materials can be repaired by low-intensity and multiple-time loading. The repaired metal materials can reach a very high level, and we have a large scale in our mobile phones and computers. The components of the integrated components are on the micro-nano scale, and our research has found that these micro-nano scale defects can be repaired."

Expanded Metal is a versatile and
economical product. Made from a sheet of metal uniformly slit and
stretched, forming diamond-shaped openings in the sheet - Expanded is a
one piece construction that won't unravel and under normal circumstances
and will hold its shape for many years. The strands and bonds of the
diamond-shaped trusses add strength and rigidity. Expanded Metal comes
in a standard (raised) or flattened diamond pattern in a variety of
gauges, opening sizes, materials and sheet sizes.
Expanded Metal is typically used for
screening, ventilating or security as a guard. The openings permit
passage of light, air, heat and sound, and sheet is lightweight and easy
to fabricate and form. Decorative patterns have the same properties and
are used aesthetically. Decorative patterns may be found in
applications like retail shelving, signage, partitions, ceiling tiles,
and more.
