Interesting to watch. I will be having two of these put in in about 7 weeks. I was under the impression that the reason they were going to 3d print them was for more of a custom fit. That doesn't appear to be the case. Simply amazing that this is an option. 50+ years ago I'd have had to live with my condition for the rest of my life.
Amazing!!!! Ever since I saw this years ago on "Grey's Anatomy" I wanted to know more. Thank you to Dr. WEBB for taking us here, and this company for allowing us to see this! 💖💛💖💖
As one of your long time subscriber an engineering student interning at a surgical implant 3d printing company, this is just what I needed. Awesome content Dr Webb!! :))
These medical technology videos are just awesome! Like robotic surgery, your videos are very relevant for todays “computer aided medicine”. Love this content! Especially how you look / use it from a doctor’s perspective.
Great video Dr. Webb. We here at DeGen Medical are working hard to take this technology to the next level. This is just the tip of the iceberg on what we can do and develop with your surgeon customers!
I found this very interesting. I had a 4 point cervical fusion 10 years ago. Then all of a sudden has hardware failure. So my "off the shelf" hardware had to be replaced. Not fun!!! Thank you for showing us this video.
Thanks, was very interesting. I appreciate. They call it cyclical stresses in mechanical theory. The component get loaded and unloaded millions of times. The more general term is fatigue, the material becomes tired. The machine in their lab can only test tensile and compression loading, giving results such as the yield strength and then the ultimate tensile strength. Components can fail without them ever reaching the yield strength where laoding and unloading occur when cyclical stresses are involved.
Dr. Webb naively asked for the engineer to reveal proprietary design processes. The VP completely skirted the question and quickly steered the conversation back to the 3D slicer program. They should probably rehearse the questions beforehand to avoid these uncomfortable situations.
Stratasys is a great additive manufacturing company with printers directly compatible for printing healthcare products and artificial organs used for training
Wow this was totally awesome. So fascinating. I would think pts with as u said to large a space or anatomic issues would do better with a custom made say cage. But then it would need to be a case that could wait the time it takes to do this. Did they happen to mention turn around time? Thank u
If thats a SLS printer then I'm interested to see how the fact that the prints are porous at a microscopic level would affect their usability. I feel like it would be better using cnc machine on a titanium block.
Titanium is used because it does not chemically react with the human body like other materials. Some metals are even poisonous to the human body. Titanium is manufactured in different types of grades with different properties. Titanium is so friendly towards the human body, its a God sent. It even fuses with bone in the human body, literally becoming part of you. It is also the 9th most abundand element on earth.
The engineer in me is geeking out
Fascinating. Do animals get lots of spinal surgery?
Whoa! Wtf are you doing here?
@@absidyabsidy2727 LMFAO
Chocolate rain guy?!?!
Chocolate raaain
If you didn't read that in his voice.
"sure absolutely..."
I wish I hadn't seen this comment before watching 😂

Dude you are cool! what type of engineering are you doing to get into this field?

This is amazing thank you for exposing me to this Dr. Webb
This is sO cool! Thank you sO much for making this video Dr. Webb.
Way better than you sitting at a desk talking. Seems like you don't do much moving around in your videos. I still enjoy your videos! God Bless.
Nice expository video, thanks man!
Great content Dr Webb👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Yooo Dr. Webb ! Interesting video ! Also you are looking in shape ! Keep it up !
This is awesome hopefully one day they can fix the whole spine surgery and issues

Great vid!!
Pretty cool!!
Interesting information thank you dr 💪🏻💪🏻
No way…Right in my hometown! Great video Dr. Webb. Thanks
High quality video
Fantastic content
Amazing 👏
Absolutely
Great 👍🩺❤️

"Do you fix deer spines?" Usually here in SC that goes in the gut bucket
Just for comparison, I googled bugatti veyron price, a 2021 is ~$1.9 million
Wow

Can you please do a video on the Chris Weidman leg injury from UFC 261?
how strong are these 3D printed devices? ie: is it stronger than bone? what kind of metal powder is being used as it has to withstand corrosion?
Dr. Webb been lifting
I wonder how long they last
Great apple pie 🥧
If thats a SLS printer then I'm interested to see how the fact that the prints are porous at a microscopic level would affect their usability. I feel like it would be better using cnc machine on a titanium block.
I mean, I guess if it's pure titanium it'd have to be SLM.
I think that in many cases the microscopic pores would make the bonding of the printed part to the patients bone more effective.
@@peterjf7723 I think you're right
Dr Webb what is the material that the printer uses to create the 3D implant?
There are many different types of materials used for 3d printing but ortho implants typically use Titanium powder

@@farida7777777 Thank you!!
Is the item a silicate?
I live 40 minutes away from Florence, South Carolina. I would’ve loved to meet you because I’ve only met one male African American physician.
Sweeeeeeeeeeet
I want a 3d print machine
Drink every time he says "absolutely"
Absolutely
I want to ask some problem please doc help me I am from India
Cameraman tried.
Over a million for that 3D printer? That’s weak. My buddy got one for 400$ on Amazon that can do the exact same shit
Lol
Spine surgery for an animal lol wow!
no masks?
