Anterior Scoliosis Correction (ASC) allows for the preservation of segmental mobility, but the precise placement of screws remains a challenge. Additive technologies (3D printing) offer a potential solution for improving the accuracy and safety of the procedure.</p> <p><bold>The aim of the study</bold> — to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of anterior scoliosis correction using additive technologies (3D models and individual guide templates) in the surgical treatment of idiopathic scoliosis in patients with completed or near-completed growth.</p> <p><bold>Methods.</bold> A single-center retrospective nonrandomized cohort study of 97 patients (mean age 24.5 years) divided into 3 groups was conducted. Group 1 (control, n = 33): free-hand screw placement. Group 2 (3D model, n = 34): intraoperative use of an individual 3D model of the spine. Group 3 (guide templates, n = 30): use of individual guide templates and rib overlays. Radiographic parameters (Cobb angle), operation time, blood loss, time to place one screw, and quality of life (SRS-22 questionnaire) were evaluated.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> Deformity correction was comparable in all groups: mean Cobb angle before surgery was 63.8±1.2 °, after sur-gery — 29.7±3.7 ° (mean correction rate, 53.6±4.5%). The use of additive technologies significantly reduced the duration of surgery: by 14.5% in Group 2 (3D model) (104.7±15.2 mins vs. 122.4±18.5 mins in Group 1, p &lt; 0.0001) and by 20.5% in Group 3 (97.3±12.8 mins, p &lt; 0.0001). The time required to install one screw decreased by 28.6% in Group 2 and by 33.3% in Group 3 (p &lt; 0.0001). Blood loss decreased by 16.0% and 20.8%, respectively (p &lt; 0.0001). Patients in Group 3 demonstrated statistically significantly higher scores on the Pain and Satisfaction scales of the SRS-22 questionnaire (p &lt; 0.0001). No cases of screw malposition were recorded in Group 3.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>The use of additive technologies, in particular individual guide templates, in anterior correction of idiopathic scoliosis significantly reduces surgery time (by 20.5%) and blood loss (by 20.8%), increases the speed and accuracy of screw placement, and improves certain parameters of patients’ quality of life, serving as an effective tool for increasing the safety of surgical intervention.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность.</bold> Хирургическое лечение идиопатического сколиоза, традиционно основанное на дорсальной фиксации, сопряжено с ограничением подвижности и риском дегенеративных изменений. Вентральная динамическая коррекция (Anterior Scoliosis Correction, ASC) позволяет сохранить мобильность сегментов, однако точная установка винтов остается сложной задачей. Аддитивные технологии (3D-печать) предлагают потенциальное решение для повышения точности и безопасности вмешательства.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> — оценить клинические и рентгенологические результаты применения вентральной динамической коррекции с использованием аддитивных технологий (3D-макетов и индивидуальных шаблонов-направителей) при хирургическом лечении идиопатического сколиоза у пациентов с завершенным или завершающимся костным ростом.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.</bold> Проведено моноцентровое ретроспективное нерандомизированное когортное исследование 97 пациентов (средний возраст 24,5 года), разделенных на три группы. Группа 1 (контроль, <italic>n</italic> = 33): установка винтов по методике «свободной руки». Группа 2 (3D-макет, <italic>n</italic> = 34): интраоперационное использование индивидуального 3D-макета позвоночника. Группа 3 (направители, <italic>n</italic> = 30): использование индивидуальных шаблонов-направителей и накладок на ребра. Оценивались рентгенологические параметры (угол Кобба), время операции, объем кровопотери, время установки одного винта и качество жизни по опроснику SRS-22.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Коррекция деформации была сопоставимой во всех группах: средний угол Кобба до операции составил 63,8±1,2°, после операции — 29,7±3,7° (среднее значение коррекции 53,6±4,5%). Использование аддитивных технологий значимо сократило время операции: в группе 2 (3D-макет) на 14,5% (104,7±15,2 мин. против 122,4±18,5 мин. в группе 1, <italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,0001), в группе 3 (направители) — на 20,5% (97,3±12,8 мин., <italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,0001). Время установки одного винта снизилось на 28,6% в группе 2 и на 33,3% в группе 3 (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,0001). Кровопотеря уменьшилась на 16,0% и 20,8% соответственно (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,0001). Пациенты группы 3 продемонстрировали статистически значимо более высокие баллы по шкалам «Боль» и «Удовлетворенность» опросника SRS-22 (<italic>p</italic> &lt; 0,0001). В группе 3 не зафиксировано случаев мальпозиции винтов.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Применение аддитивных технологий, в особенности индивидуальных шаблонов-направителей, при вентральной динамической коррекции идиопатического сколиоза позволяет значимо сократить время операции (на 20,5%) и кровопотерю (на 20,8%), повысить скорость и точность установки имплантатов, а также улучшить качество жизни пациентов и является эффективным инструментом повышения безопасности хирургического вмешательства.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>scoliosis</kwd><kwd>vertebrology</kwd><kwd>additive technologies</kwd><kwd>3D printing</kwd><kwd>anterior scoliosis correction</kwd><kwd>ASC</kwd><kwd>3D spine model</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>сколиоз</kwd><kwd>вертебрология</kwd><kwd>аддитивные технологии</kwd><kwd>3D-печать</kwd><kwd>вентральная динамическая коррекция</kwd><kwd>ASC</kwd><kwd>3D-модель позвоночника</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Baroncini A., Trobisch P.
