Highly Accurate Custom Made Implants for Patients

In order to design a highly accurate implant for individual patients, Bonash proposes a software system that designs a patient specific hip implant by investigating the 3D anatomical geometry of the patient’s hip joints since bone cutting and alignment have to be achieved in 3D planes in surgical operation. Accuracy of the additively manufactured prostheses […]

Patient Specific Implants for Maxillofacial Reconstruction

In the vast majority of cases, precise symmetric reconstruction of maxillofacial defects remains an unsolved problem for craniofacial surgeons. Patient specific implants have contributed considerably to improvement in the accuracy and reliability of facial rehabilitation, rapidly becoming an irreplaceable part of the surgical armamentarium. 3d printed prosthesis could be an advantageous and promising alternative to […]

Patient Specific Implants for Reconstruction of Orbital Floor

Patient specific implants simplify the reconstruction of orbital floor and wall fractures, and should be considered a more accurate alternative to manually bent titanium mesh implants. 3d printed implants allow for the application of safe, time-effective, daily procedures; accordingly, its use should be encouraged. As stated by the World Health Organization, custom made implants should […]

Custom made Titanium Prosthesis for Chest

A titanium custom made chest wall implant could be a viable alternative for patients who had large chest wall tumors. From our experience, we conclude that the patient specific titanium implant may be used safely and effectively. It is additively manufactured by one of the new technologies that can allow thoracic surgeons to perform a […]
