New Delhi: Is 3D printing the future model for performing complex orthopaedic, spinal and reconstructive surgeries? Doctors at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) believe it is. They have set up a 3D printing facility in the hospital and say it can help reduce complications significantly, apart from aiding in difficult cases.

Using 3D software and a printer, the surgeons can covert a CT scan of a damaged bone into a physical model. This can be of great assistance to doctors because even a minor mistake or miscalculation in a spine surgery can cause paralysis or deformity.

New open data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reveals that physicians and teaching hospitals received $7.52 billion in payments from healthcare companies in 2015.

The federal government, under the Sunshine Act, must publish on a public website the financial interactions between manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologicals and medical supplies to individual physicians and teaching hospitals.

The 2015 payments included nearly $3.9 billion in research related payments, $2.6 billion in non-research-related payments and more than $1 billion representing ownership or investment interests held by physicians or their immediate family members, according to a CMS announcement.

Physicians specializing in nuclear medicine received the biggest payments, averaging $51,279, far higher than the $8,037 per physician reported in 2014.

Cappagh used to run six operating theatres. Now it's just three. Surgeons who used to get one day each week in theatre now get two a month. They can do an average of five procedures a day, but are have been told to stop after three. So instead of doing 20 to 25 procedures a month, the surgeons are doing just six. Why? Because there isn't the money to buy the implants. For a straight-forward procedure, these cost about €3,000. Some surgeons use ones costing just €1,500. And the patients, like Sarah, are not allowed provide this money.

It gets worse.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is proposing to classify posterior cervical screw systems into class II (special controls) and to continue to require premarket notification to provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of the device. A posterior cervical screw system is a prescription device used to provide immobilization and stabilization in the cervical spine as an adjunct to spinal fusion surgery. The term “posterior cervical screw systems” is used to distinguish these devices from currently classified pedicle screw spinal systems cleared for use in other spinal regions.
