Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently one of the most common orthopedic surgeries due to the ever-increasing average life expectancy. The constant need for effective and accurate techniques was contributed to the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing in that field, especially for patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and custom-made implants fabrication. PSI may offer numerous benefits, such as resection accuracy, mechanical axis alignment, cost-effectiveness, and time economy. Nonetheless, the results of existing studies are controversial. For this purpose, a review article of the published articles was conducted to summarize the role of 3D-printed PSI in TKA.
由于平均预期寿命不断增加,全膝关节置换术(TKA)目前是最常见的骨科手术之一。对有效和精确技术的持续需求推动了该领域三维(3D)打印技术的发展,特别是在定制手术器械(PSI)和定制植入物制造方面。PSI可能具有诸多益处,如切除精度、机械轴对齐、成本效益和时间经济性。尽管如此,现有研究的结果存在争议。为此,对已发表的文章进行了一篇综述,以总结3D打印PSI在TKA中的作用。
