3D printing to achieve orthopedic surgery "private order": human body parts print private custom bones on demand

3D printing for orthopedic surgery "Private Custom": Human body parts print on demand Private custom skeleton model


Recently, the Department of Orthopaedics of the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province applied the 3D printing technology to orthopedic surgery for the first time. The operation was successfully performed for Ms. Zheng, a patient with skull base depression and atlantoaxial dislocation. The patient recovered well after surgery.

Digital realization of surgery can be practiced

"In the past, orthopedic surgery relied mainly on X-ray films and CT images of the wound site of patients as the basis for surgical preparation. The planarization of X-ray films and CT films made them have a good space for reading and understanding. Fine surgery has increased the difficulty." Liu Wei, director of the department of orthopedics, said that after using 3D printing technology, the image data of the patient's surgical site can be transferred to the computer for processing and connected to the 3D printer in about 10 hours. The simulation model can be used for surgical preparation and surgical planning.

"Pre-operative, doctors can use this model to achieve simulated surgery. All the problems that may be encountered in the operation are advanced in advance, making the operation more precise and safe, improving the operation efficiency, shortening the operation time, and reducing the bleeding." Liu Wei said, relying on The previous exercise shortened the operation by 1/3 time, which greatly reduced the complications such as intraoperative discomfort and postoperative infection.

3D printing has broad prospects in orthopedics

The reporter learned that some hospitals in China have developed 3D printer printing models to help patients repair skull defects, trim the chin, raise the nose, reshape the tibia and design various head and face operations. The application of 3D printing technology in orthopedics is also Has started and has a wide range of prospects.

Liu Wei introduced that using the 3D printer to create the patient's skeletal model as "private customization", "strictly stitching" to meet the treatment needs to develop a surgical plan, more precise than the traditional surgery, the most important thing is to save in a safe and non-invasive situation Valuable surgery time.

"The current application of 3D printing technology is still in its infancy, but it can help patients design surgery in advance, reducing the difficulty of surgery." Liu Wei revealed that next, the hospital will gradually apply 3D printing technology to patients with difficult bone injuries. In the future, 3D printing technology can realize the printing of human organs, and print out the personalized "parts" of the human body for the patients.
