Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a computer-directed process leading to the layered synthesis of scaled models. The popularity and availability of the technique has exponentially increased over the last decade, and as such is seeing a greater number of medical and surgical applications.
We report 3 cases involving the use of 3D printing as an aid to operative planning in the revision of wrist surgery.
All patients underwent successful operative interventions with a £34 average cost of model creation.
A growing number of reports are emerging in reconstructive surgical specialities including maxillofacial, orthopedic, and plastic surgery; from our experience, we advocate the economically viable use of 3D printing for preoperative templating.
三维(3D)打印是一种由计算机引导的过程,可实现缩放模型的分层合成。在过去十年中,该技术的普及程度和可用性呈指数级增长,因此在医学和外科领域有了更多的应用。
我们报告了3例在腕部手术翻修中使用3D打印辅助手术规划的病例。
所有患者均成功接受了手术干预,模型创建的平均成本为34英镑。
在包括颌面外科、整形外科和骨科在内的重建外科专业中,越来越多的报告出现;根据我们的经验,我们主张在术前模板制作中经济可行地使用3D打印。
