Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a new rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing technology. OBJECTIVE: Through the analysis of the related papers, the paper summarizes and discusses the research progress of 3D printing technology, the prospect of application in joint replacement and the status quo and development trend of 3D printing technology in joint replacement.METHODS: The relevant literature was retrieved by the first author with the China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI) and PubMed database from 1985 to 2015. The key words were 3D printing technology, rapid prototyping, arthroplasty, joint replacement. The included 81 articles were analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Basic research and clinical application of 3D printing technology and joint replacementtechnology are becoming more and more popular. 3D printing further optimizes in the communication and teaching in joint replacement, and avoids intraoperative and postoperative complications. According to the needs of different teaching materials, 3D printing can print out different parts of the real body with different characteristics of print by 3D printer. The surgical simulation exercises with 3D limb printing different materials are the best way to improve theoperation skills. 3D printing technology in the osteotomy guide precision has basically completed multicenter clinical trial,and toward to the clinical application of small scale stage. The construction of individualized treatment plan and theapplication of active biological organs by 3D printing technology will become the new research direction of jointreplacement.
