Abstract:
3D printing is a new printing technology through which a three-dimensional solid structure is manufactured through printing layer by layer.Its manufacturing of a three-dimensional solid object is based on digital model files and results from layer by layer stack accumulation of powdery metal or plastic and other adhesive materials.In this review,we focus on application of 3D printing technology in orthopedic surgery.We talk about mould-making,preoperative planning,surgical protocols,customization of a navigation template and a personalized prosthesis and its application in bone tissue engineering.It improves therapeutic efficacy by making operative treatment more accurate,shortening operative time and providing personalized implants for the patients.This paper also summarizes the current situation of 3D printing in orthopedics and its future profile.
