Comparative analysis of current 3D printed acetabular titanium implants
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue
Abstract
The design freedom allowed by three-dimensional (3D) printing enables the production of acetabular off-the-shelf cups with complex porous structures. The only studies on these designs are limited to clinical outcomes. Our aim was to analyse and compare the designs of different 3D printed cups from multiple manufacturers (Delta TT, Trident II Tritanium and Mpact 3D Metal).
