Abstract:
Recently, the joint replacement has gradually become a common operation of orthopedics. It's also the hot spot in current investigations. The increasing number of reports about the 3D printing technology such as patient-specific instrumentation(PSI) is applied to hip and knee replacement. It plays an important role in supporting operation especially for complex cases. However, it is still at the primary stage. This article reviews the relevant literature, analyzes and collates the research status of the application of 3D printing PSI in total knee arthroplasty, and summarizes its effectiveness in the application of knee arthroplasty from the aspects of individual preoperative planning, intraoperative operation and postoperative functional recovery, especially complex knee surgery such as obesity and knee deformity. The necessity of clinical application is discussed, and the existing problems and controversies in the current clinical application are summarized in order to provide references for the future research direction and clinical application.
