Objective To discuss the application of early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration in converting operation therapy on the specified acute epidural hematoma.Methods 21 patients with the specified acute epidural hematoma were treated with early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration drainage,using YL-1 hematoma puncture needle with silica gel ventricular drainage tube.Results The successful rate of puncture was 100％.Hematoma was completely cleared in 19 cases.A small amount of epidural effusion was remained in 2 cases.1 case had concomitant rebleeding during the puncture,and shifted to craniotomy.Conclusion Early time window modified stereotaxic aspiration drainage is a minimally invasive,safe and effective treatment on the specified acute epidural hematoma when mastering the indications,timing and skills of puncture.

With the characteristics of fast prototyping and personalized manufacturing, 3D-printing (three-dimensional printing) is an emerging technology with promising applications for orthopedic medical devices. It can complete the process of medical devices with complex shape which can not be completed by conventional fabrication process. At present, a variety of orthopedic medical devices manufactured by 3D printing technology, has been approved for marketing, and their use has been proved to be beneficial. 3D bioprinting in this area has also made a few breakthroughs. However, many challenges still remain to be addressed as well. In this study, the research status, as well as the development of the 3D-printing technology in the field of orthopedic medical devices is elaborated.
