“…Patient specific cutting guides and patient specific implants have shown added value (i.e., cranial, lumbar, tracheal, chest wall) (42). Movrin et al used custom designed implants for reconstruction and treatment for blow out orbital fractures (48). Others have shown utility of 3D printing for bone graft harvesting; such as in the design of customized mandibular tray, repair of facial clefts, and the creation of facial or extremity implants in dental and orthopedic military blast injury settings (42, 49).…”

The Association of University Radiologists Radiology Research Alliance Task Force on three-dimensional (3D) printing presents a review of the logistic considerations for establishing a clinical service using this new technology, specifically focused on implications for radiology. Specific topics include printer selection for 3D printing, software selection, creating a 3D model for printing, providing a 3D printing service, research directions, and opportunities for radiologists to be involved in 3D printing. A thorough understanding of the technology and its capabilities is necessary as the field of 3D printing continues to grow. Radiologists are in the unique position to guide this emerging technology and its use in the clinical arena.

“…CT scans are also used to design and to print plastic anatomical models employed to manually adapt a standard implant to anatomically reconstruct the patients' fractured bones [4]. Such printed anatomical models are used in the clinic to manually shape orbital floor (OF) implants made of metal alloy [5], titanium [4,[6][7][8][9][10], pure polylactic acid (PLA) [11], composites with hydroxyapatite (HA) [12], and even bone grafts [13]. The shaped implants facilitate and shorten the surgical procedure as their geometries do not need to be adjusted manually intra-operatively.…”

“…In the past years, many studies and case reports have proven the advantages of digital planning together with customized orbital implants. 6,19,22 –25 A recent study by Chen et al combined intraoperative navigation with endoscopic assistance giving even greater intraoperative overview. 26 When using PSIs, size and thickness are variable providing solutions for difficult anatomic situations as in secondary orbital reconstruction.…”

Study Design: This study presents a case-control study of 33 patients who underwent secondary orbital reconstruction, evaluating techniques and outcome. Objective: Adequate functional and aesthetical appearance are main goals for secondary orbital reconstruction. Insufficient premorbid orbital reconstruction can result in hypoglobus, enophthalmos, and diplopia. Computer-assisted surgery and the use of patient-specific implants (PSIs) is widely described in the literature. The authors evaluate the use of selective laser-melted PSIs and hypothesize that PSIs are an excellent option for secondary orbital reconstruction. Methods: The sample was composed of 33 patients, previously treated with primary orbital reconstruction, presenting themselves with indications for secondary reconstruction (i.e. enophthalmos, diplopia, or limited eye motility). Computed tomography and/or cone beam data sets were assessed before and after secondary reconstruction comparing intraorbital volumes, infraorbital angles, and clinical symptoms. Clinical outcomes were assessed using a standardized protocol. Results: Results show a significant change in intraorbital volumes and a reduction of clinical symptoms after secondary reconstruction. Conclusions: Outcomes of this study suggest that secondary orbital reconstruction can be performed routinely using selective laser-melted PSIs and titanium spacers.
