Three-dimensional (3-D) printing offers many potential advantages in designing and manufacturing plating systems for foot and ankle procedures that involve small, geometrically complex bony anatomy. Here, we describe the design and clinical use of a Ti-6Al-4V ELI bone plate (FastForward™ Bone Tether Plate, MedShape, Inc., Atlanta, GA) manufactured through 3-D printing processes. The plate protects the second metatarsal when tethering suture tape between the first and second metatarsals and is a part of a new procedure that corrects hallux valgus (bunion) deformities without relying on doing an osteotomy or fusion procedure. The surgical technique and two clinical cases describing the use of this procedure with the 3-D printed bone plate are presented within.
三维（3-D）打印在设计和制造用于足踝手术的接骨板系统方面具有许多潜在优势，这些手术涉及微小且几何形状复杂的骨骼解剖结构。在此，我们描述一种通过3-D打印工艺制造的Ti-6Al-4V ELI接骨板（FastForward™骨系绳板，MedShape公司，佐治亚州亚特兰大）的设计及临床应用。当在第一和第二跖骨之间系紧缝合带时，该接骨板可保护第二跖骨，并且是一种无需进行截骨术或融合手术即可矫正拇外翻（拇囊炎）畸形的新手术的一部分。本文介绍了该手术技术以及两例描述使用这种3-D打印接骨板进行该手术的临床病例。
