Abstract
Nowadays, the use of polymers in modern orthopedics has become more common, not only because they can play an important role due to their weight, cost and performance; but also thanks to new manufacturing and processing technologies –mainly additive manufacturing or 3D printing–. Their application to polymers has allowed a wide range of medical devices to change from expensive and generic devices (“one size fits all”), to customized and more affordable options, being orthopedic implants one of the best examples of this revolution.
