“…There have been many reports of the utilization of 3D printing for orthopaedic preoperative planning, ranging from mass excision and complex reconstruction to the creation of patient specific implants and cutting guides. 11-22 This case report demonstrates the use and efficacy of a 3D-printed model for preoperative planning and surgical decompression of the sciatic nerve secondary to HO encasement.…”

Case: A 31-year-old patient presented with an encapsulated sciatic nerve secondary to extensive hip heterotopic ossification (HO), which prevented visualization of a safe osteotomy site to avoid nerve damage. The 3D-printed model demonstrated an easily identifiable osseous reference point along the inferior aspect of the heterotopic mass, allowing for a vertical osteotomy to be safely performed. Conclusion: HO is associated with loss of normal anatomic topography. The current case report illustrates the use of a 3D-printed model to identify pertinent anatomic landmarks required for safe decompression of an encapsulated sciatic nerve within the anatomic region of the hip.

“…Only one other case report exists describing the use of 3D-printed models to treat fracture malunion. 33 Thomes et al illustrated the utility of a 3D-printed model for preoperative planning of a scapular malunion. The authors similarly found an improved operative experience having used this exercise to plan the operative steps.…”

Summary: Three-dimensional (3D) offers exciting opportunities in medicine, particularly in orthopaedics. The boundaries of 3D printing are continuously being re-established and have paved the way for further innovations, including 3D bioprinting, custom printing refined methods, 4D bioprinting, and 5D printing potential. The quality of these applications have been steadily improving, increasing their widespread use among clinicians. This article provides a review of the current literature with a brief introduction to the process of additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and its applications in fracture care. We illustrate this technology with a case series of 3D printing used for correction of complex fractures/nonunion. Factors limiting the use of this technology, including cost, and potential solutions are discussed. Finally, we discuss 4D bioprinting and 5D printing and their potential role in fracture surgery.

“…In fact, it is a straightforward, affordable teaching strategy that enables the representation of the bone devoid of its musculature envelopes, allowing for unrestricted manipulation of the different bone ends in the three spatial planes and enhancing student comprehension. With training, the future practitioner will be able to better understand the interpretation of these images for the cases with which he will be presented in his future practice to the ability to associate a fractured image obtained by CT, MRI, or X-ray with direct observation of the corresponding 3D model [26,27].…”

A new and incredibly promising technology is 3-Dimensional (3D) printing, which first emerged in the 1980s and has been continuously advancing since then. It is a distinct way of layerby-layer material deposition that sets itself apart from other conventional modelling techniques through material molding and removal. Modelling by adding material, 3D printing can produce things with incredibly intricate geometries and even with previously unheard-of accuracy. It may be applied in a variety of fields, including aviation, the automobile industry, production, science, education, and medicine. Printing by adding material is a significant breakthrough for several writers in these latter domains of application. The spectrum of potential applications for 3D printing is enormous and highly promising, including modelling learning and training prototypes, producing tailored prostheses, and printing biological and functioning organs. In General, this article will be focusing on the Major applications of 3D printers in education and medicine
