Medical Aakash Healthcare - Correcting Scoliosis Deformity View Medical Aakash Healthcare - Correcting Scoliosis Deformity A 12-year-old girl from Kyrgyzstan came to Aakash Healthcare, New Delhi because she suffered from a rare condition that affects approximately three children in every one hundred thousand called Progressive Scoliosis Dorsolumbar. Dorsal scoliosis affects the portion of the spine between the bottom of the neck and the top of the pelvis and causes a severe curvature. In her case, a 130 degree curve, in addition to pelvic misalignment caused by different-sized hips, was causing severe pain that left her unable to walk and was only getting worse.
Medical CHU de Brest - Improving Surgical Planning View Medical CHU de Brest - Improving Surgical Planning This case study is about the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (CHU) de Brest in western Brittany, France. For a long time, the hospital used traditional methods to produce preoperative models and had individual, more complex models produced by 3D printing service providers. Now, the CHU de Brest wanted to be able to print the models entirely by itself. Find out why the J5 MediJet® was the best solution for this!
