MOYA, D; GOBBATO, B; VALENTE, S e ROCA, R. Use of preoperative planning and 3D printing in orthopedics and traumatology: entering a new era. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.1, pp.39-47. Epub 05-Jun-2023. ISSN 2306-4102. https://doi.org/10.35366/106758.
Three-dimensional (3D) printing includes a group of technologies by means of which it is possible to generate three-dimensional objects from binary information. Orthopedics and traumatology are fields of medicine in which 3D planning has had the greatest impact, especially in trauma and oncological orthopedics. Applications of this technique include diagnosis, surgical planning, intraoperative guide creation, custom implants, surgical training, orthotic and prosthetic impression, and bioprinting. Advantages have been demonstrated in its use, such as greater technical precision, shorter surgical times, decreased blood loss and less exposure to X-rays. Although the process is increasingly optimized and accessible due to advances in software and automation, it is a technique that requires adequate training. The objective of this review is to offer an approach to this technology and its basic principles.
