Clinical application of 3D printing technology to the surgical treatment of atlantoaxial subluxation in small breed dogs.

Clinical application of 3D printing technology to the surgical treatment of atlantoaxial subluxation in small breed dogs.

Atlantoaxial instability (AAI)/subluxation commonly occurs in small breed dogs. Ventral stabilization techniques using screws and/or pins and a plate or, more commonly, polymethylmethacrylate are considered to provide the most favorable outcome. However, the implantation of screws of sufficient size...
