“…Another significant advantage of this approach is the possibility to develop physical models of the patient's body on the basis of computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. [19,[26][27][28] The samples analyzed in this article are elements of modular plates made of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), manufactured through 3DPT and SLM technology. The proposed implant system consists of a number of elements with relatively complicated shapes.…”

There are many known bone stabilization systems. New implant systems are finding to fixation of bone multifractures. One of such stabilization system is analyzed in this article. This article is focused on the material research of the elements of the innovative system designed to fixation of multisite bone fractures. The components are manufactured by means of the selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printing technology (3DPT). Their chemical composition, as well as the surface and internal structure of small‐sized elements, is tested. The influence of heat treatment on the internal structure and, consequently, strength is investigated. Herein, novel bone fracture fixation implants made of titanium alloy (Ti–6Al–4V) manufactured through SLM 3DPT are investigated. The microstructures of the main components of the new modular implant fixation system are assessed, as well as hardness distribution and morphology of the fractures induced in tension and bending. It is found that the implant elements assessed are free from harmful chemicals, and the structures obtained exhibit high strength and present a porous surface that is suitable for osseointegration promotion. In summary, the fabricated titanium implants are expected to be adequate for the treatment of bone fractures.
