Abstract

“3D printing” is a common term used for a number of technologies which operate on the principle of converting a computer-generated 3D image into a physical model. Advantage of 3D printed parts is that they can assume complex shape, with solid and porous components that can be combined to provide the best combination of strength and performances and can help visualize the complex fractures which are difficult to apprehend with conventional imaging. Presently, the primary applications for 3D printing are the production of anatomical models for planning and surgery simulation, patient-specific instruments and custom-made prosthesis which have transformed how orthopedic problems are addressed now. This review aims to describe the utility and future directives into the application of this technology in orthopedics.
