Personalized titanium prosthesis

Craniofacial segmental defects that are caused due to blast injury or tumor ablation require reconstructive procedures involving large bone replacement implants. Such defects remain a challenging problem for reconstructive surgeons as it is difficult to create a complicated 3D structure that satisfies significant functional and aesthetic roles of the mid face.
These defects are patient specific and the implants should depend on the loads and the dimensions of the missing bone defect. Advances in 3Dprinting technology have opened a new dawn in personalized titanium prosthesis design. Recently, an additively manufactured custom made implant has been successfully created and implanted in an infant using a 3D printer.

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 is important to surgeons, and the capabilities of the custom made implants affect the outcome of design accuracy. Some of advantageous of titanium custom made prostheses are listed below:
• Ease of insertion of the implant stem in the canal of femur
• Successful positioning of implant in the hip joint

Patient Specific Implants for Maxillofacial Reconstruction

/in , /by

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 the use of other alloplastic materials. Moreover, custom made implants has the potential not only to achieve predictable correction for congenital or acquired deformities but also to serve a merely cosmetic purpose.

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 play a key role in daily routines, and furthermore should replace conventional implants by 2020. Additively manufactured implants for the reconstruction of orbital floor and wall fractures is now readily available.

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 wide anterior chest wall resection including of the sternum.
Despite the fact that the used custom made titanium implant is novel and has not been used previously, the use of other types of titanium implants has been proved to be safe and effective.
