Abstract: With the progress of science technology,the 3D technology has raised comprehensive attention for its application value in medical field,especially in the orthopedic field.It has been mainly used before complicated orthopedic surgeries,and several studies have focused on 3D duplicated materials used in the treatment of bone defect.However,there are seldom studies about the 3 D technology used during surgeries,such as whether it is possible to 3D print internal fixation materials of bone fracture (the materials have biodegradability and excellent biomechanical characteristics),which can not only promote the healing of fracture,but also reduce the pain of second surgery for the patient.This paper reviews and summarizes the exploration of foreign and domestic scholars about the application value of 3 D printing technology used in complicated bone fracture,and proposes a forecast to the developing trend of the technology used in future orthopedic surgeries.
