The device improves drilling in both expert surgeons and resident surgeons, showing greater benefits in the latter. The device is printable with any 3D printer, making it universally accessible, inexpensive, and effective, allowing expert surgeons to improve precision in high-risk situations and resident surgeons to improve their technique without increasing risk to the patient.
