Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of 3D printing technique in the surgical management and strategy of rehabilitation therapy of acetabular fracture. Methods For a patient with acetabular fracture, the pelvis model was printed preoperatively by 3D printing technique for surgical simulation to determine the optimal position of the screw, measure the screw length, and design the route of screw entry. Laparoscopic assisted internal fixation was performed, and a gradual and systematic rehabilitation plan was carried out after the surgery based on the results of simulation. Results The operation was completed successfully with a shortened postoperative recovery time. Conclusions The application of 3D printing allows more accurate and safer surgical management of acetabular fracture to promote postoperative recovery of the patient and lower the medical costs.
