About

Marco Manzetti is a leading orthopedic spine surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical precision in complex spinal procedures. His primary research areas include patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guides, pedicle screw accuracy in revision surgery, and the biomechanics of spinal instrumentation. Dr. Manzetti’s most notable contribution is his 2022 retrospective study evaluating the MySpine® patient-specific 3D-printed guides for pedicle screw placement in revision spine surgery. This work demonstrated that these custom guides significantly improve screw placement accuracy and reduce complication rates in challenging revision cases, where distorted anatomy often makes traditional freehand techniques risky. With 4 citations to date, this study has quickly become a reference point for surgeons adopting 3D-printing technology in the operating room. Dr. Manzetti’s research bridges the gap between engineering innovation and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions for safer, more reproducible outcomes in spine revision surgery. His work continues to influence the development of personalized surgical tools, making him a key figure in the evolution of precision spine surgery.
