3D Printed replica of articular fractures for surgical planning and patient consent: a two years multi-centric experience
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue
Abstract
CT scanning with 3D reconstructed images are currently used to study articular fractures in orthopedic and trauma surgery. A 3D-Printer creates solid objects, starting from a 3D Computer representation.
