Abstract

The Rapid Prototyping has a wide application including in medical field also. The complex shapes which
otherwise are very difficult to build can be easily fabricated through RP. One significant region in spine for screw
insertion is spine pedicle. But, this is most crucial area due to its proximity with spinal cord and nerves. Designing
personalized drill-guide will not only enhance accuracy but also provide better accuracy. In this paper, the various
designs made so far had been reviewed and through them some basic features and principals are drawn. This paper
has an objective of presenting a review of different customized patient-specific drill that is used for inserting screw
in pedicle of spine in human body. The paper tried to investigate certain criteria for designing (like landmarks based
on anatomy, accuracy, stability by unique placement, etc.). Based on these, some new proposals are implemented to
make the design more effective.
