Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Definitive management and treatment of bone defects caused trauma, infection, inflammation or tumour are still challenging problems in orthopaedics. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a development strategy that is currently being widely discussed to overcome this problem. This technology has dramatically improved teaching and advanced patient care by giving innovative tools for challenging clinical conditions.
Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct in-depth observations and critical analysis of the current state of 3DPIs (3D-printed personalized implants) for bone defects.
Materials and methods: This study’s search was performed in PubMed, Science direct, Elsevier, Google Scholar, in October 2023. We included studies involving all bone defects that received 3DPIs in surgery and had been followed up for outcomes in several months. There was no date restriction. The recorded outcomes were anatomical outcome, functional outcome, and complication.
Results: We identified 157 studies and 35 studies remained after screening. Finally, 9 studies fulfilled the criteria. These studies consist of 39 bone defects (25 tumours, 12 traumas, 2 infections) which received 3DPIs. The result suggested that the patient who received the 3DPIs had an excellent condition including minimal anatomical deformity, good functional outcome after several months evaluation (between 6 and 24 months) and minimal complication.
Conclusion: 3DPIs show promising outcome as treatment for bone defect with minimal anatomical deformity, good functional outcome and minimal complication. However, as this review was limited by the number of available studies, more studies are required to investigate the definite outcome of such technology.
