Aim: To test 3D-printed immobilization device for future use in magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound hyperthermia. Material & methods: Using a surface scanner, patient-specific pelvic immobilization devices were 3D printed. The setup reproducibility was measured both on linear accelerator (LINAC) and magnetic resonance. An ultrasound imaging probe was used to acquire reference images and…

The preliminary safety and accuracy of a modified 3D-printed reconstruction plate (3DPRP) for mandible segmental defects were evaluated. Two patients with mandible segmental defects who underwent reconstruction using 3DPRPs were included in the study. No dead space, wound healing failures or fractures were observed. The mean deviations for the two patients were 0.59 and 0.57 mm and the condyle…

Mashup Score: 0Patient-specific 3D-printed titanium implant for distal tibial critical bone defect | Journal of 3D Printing in Medicine - 2 year(s) ago
Aim: Post-traumatic large critical bone defects remain a challenge for today’s orthopedist. Despite multiple available options for treatment including autograft, massive allograft and various methods of bone transport, no strategy has shown itself to be free of significant complications or discouraging rates of nonunion and other mechanisms of failure. Case presentation: Here, we present a…
