Custom 3D printing is an advanced technology used to create patient-specific models, surgical guides and customized implants for complex musculoskeletal and orthopaedic oncology procedures. It allows detailed surgical planning based on the patient's individual anatomy and can support greater precision in challenging tumor surgeries.

Understanding

Patient-Specific 3D Planning

• Three-dimensional models can be created from patient-specific CT or MRI imaging to accurately represent the affected anatomy.
• These models help surgeons understand complex tumors and their relationship with surrounding bones, joints and other structures.
• Custom surgical guides can be designed to assist with accurate bone cuts and tumor resection in selected cases.
• Patient-specific implants may be designed for complex reconstruction when conventional implants are not suitable.

Applications

Complex Tumor Surgery & Reconstruction

• 3D printing can assist in the planning of complex bone tumor resections and reconstruction procedures.
• It may be particularly useful for tumors involving anatomically challenging regions such as the pelvis and other complex skeletal areas.
• Physical 3D models can help visualize the surgical anatomy and improve pre-operative preparation.
• Customized solutions can be developed to match the patient's anatomy and the planned surgical requirements.

Treatment

Custom 3D printing is incorporated into treatment planning based on the individual patient's anatomy, tumor characteristics and reconstructive requirements. The process may involve detailed imaging, three-dimensional surgical planning, creation of patient-specific guides or models, and customized reconstruction. It is used selectively to support precision, planning and functional reconstruction in complex musculoskeletal oncology surgeries.
