Technological advancement is shaping the future of veterinary medicine, and one particular development has become a critical component in modern veterinary orthopedics - custom-made surgical drill and sawblade guides.

The world of veterinary medicine is experiencing a profound transformation thanks to technological advancements, with 3D printing taking center stage. This technology has shown particular promise in the realm of veterinary orthopedics, as 3D printed pre-surgical models of animal bones and joints redefine the way surgical procedures are conducted. 

Using three-dimensional anatomical models while talking to a client greatly facilitates the educational process. Thanks to the model, the doctor can point to elements of the skull structure causing animal’s diseases and simultaneously compare the brachycephalic skull structure with a skull of a dog of mesocephalic or dolichocephalic breeds, that do not have such ailments.

Cauda equina syndrome is a set of conditions resulting from pathologies occurring between the last lumbar vertebrae and the sacrum. Those pathologies also affect intervertebral disc, tissues of this area and nerves reffered to as filum terminale.
