Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a form of technology in which 3D physical models are created. It has been used in a variety of surgical specialities ranging from cranio-maxillo-facial to orthopaedic surgery and is currently an area of much interest within the medical profession. Within the field of orthopaedic surgery, 3D printing has several clinical applications including surgical education, surgical planning, manufacture of patient-specific prostheses/patient specific instruments and bone tissue engineering. This article reviews the current practices of 3D printing in orthopaedic surgery in both clinical and pre-clinical settings along with discussing its potential future applications.
三维(3D)打印是一种创建 3D 实体模型的技术形式。它已被应用于从颅颌面到骨科手术等各种外科专业领域,目前是医学界备受关注的一个领域。在骨科手术领域,3D 打印技术有多种临床应用,包括手术教育、手术规划、制造患者专用假体/患者专用器械和骨组织工程。本文回顾了当前 3D打印技术在骨科手术中的临床和临床前应用,并讨论了其未来的潜在应用。
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
