Three-Dimensional Printing in Orthopedic Surgery.

چکیده
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is emerging as a clinically promising technology for rapid prototyping of surgically implantable products. With this commercially available technology, computed tomography or magnetic resonance images can be used to create graspable objects from 3D reconstructed images. Models can enhance patients' understanding of their pathology and surgeon preoperative planning. Customized implants and casts can be made to match an individual's anatomy. This review outlines 3D printing, its current applications in orthopedics, and promising future directions.

Rapid Manufacturing of Co-Cr-Mo Implants by Three-Dimentional Printing Process for Orthopedic Applications
The fabrication of complex-shaped parts out of (wt %) Co-28Cr-6Mo alloy by three-dimensional printing (3DP) was studied using two grades of the alloy with average particle sizes of 20 and 75 μm. To produce sound specimens, 3DP processing parameters were tuned. The sintering behavior of the powders was characterized by the dilatometric analysis. Batch sintering in argon atmosphere at 1280 °...
