“…The literature is replete with examples of reverse total shoulder arthroplasties done with custom 3D-printed glenoid components in patients with significant bone loss or deformity. 19,20 Safali et al 21 also recently published a case series of custom 3D-printed radial head prostheses to better replicate the patients' anatomy after radial head fractures.…”

Summary: As the technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing becomes more refined and accessible, multiple applications of its use are becoming more commonplace in upper extremity surgery. 3D-printed models have been beneficial in preoperative planning of complex cases of acute trauma or malunions, contributing to spatial understanding or even contouring of implants. Custom guides can also be created to assist intraoperatively with precise placement of osteotomies or arthroplasty implants. Finally, custom 3D implants have been described for cases of bone loss in the upper extremity. This can be for relatively small gaps after malunion correction or extensive defects, typically for trauma or tumor. Articular defects can also be addressed with this technology, although special considerations should be given to the implant design and longevity in these situations. Because of the relatively recent nature of 3D implants, long-term data are lacking. However, they show great promise in an expanding range of challenging clinical indications.

“…Thus, the operative time is shortened, and subsequent complications can be prevented [ 7 ]. As personalized implants provide an adequate anatomical fit without disturbing the load distribution and bone biomechanics, high patient satisfaction is achieved [ 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Moreover, the modern design of a 3D printed personalized implant not only has the structural geometry that can match the surgical requirements of an individual patient but also allows biomechanical evaluation under patient-specific loading conditions for design modification prior to the actual implant fabrication and application to reduce pain, recovery time and enhance osseointegration—if necessary—and function [ 38 , 39 ].…”

Background and Objectives: Following the most recent software and 3D printing developments, the use of personalized 3D printed orthopedic implants for treatment of complicated surgical cases has gained more popularity. Today, orthopedic problems that cannot be solved with standard implants may be effectively addressed using personalized prostheses. The aim of this study is to present the designing, modeling and production stages of four different personalized 3D printed prostheses and their application in clinical cases of patients who underwent treatment in various anatomical locations with a precisely specified indication for implantation. Materials and Methods: Based on computed tomography scanning, personalized 3D printed prostheses were designed, produced and used in four patients within a period of three to five days after injury or admission. Results: Early term follow-ups demonstrated good to excellent results. Conclusions: Personalized 3D printed prostheses offer an opportunity for a treatment of choice and provide good anatomical and functional results, shortened surgical time, less complications, and high satisfaction in patients with appropriate indications. The method should be considered primarily for patients with large bone defects, or such indicated for resection. Personalized 3D printed prostheses have the potential to become more common and beneficial in the future.

Background Knee osteoarthritis is severe progressive and most commonly diagnosed articular disease and its incidence is increasing around the world depending on age. This pathologic condition which limits daily activity of patients can be characterized by degeneration of cartilage and inflammation. Although non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAII) agents and other analgesics are routinely used treatment options, the potential effects of intraarticular injections including hyaluronic acid (HA) have also been demonstrated by various studies. However, few studies compare the efficacy of a single high molecular weight (HMW) high dose and a triple HMW low dose. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of single high molecular weight (HMW) high dose (2 mL / 60 mg) and triple HMW low dose (2 mL /30 mg) intra-articular injection of HA in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients by evaluating function and pain parameters during 12 months. Methods This is a single-center, retrospective clinical study that included and involved 128 patients. Group I (n=64) patients received triple 30 mg HA injections (SEMICAL®) with one-week intervals, while Group II (n=64) patients received a single 60 mg HA injection (SEMICAL®). Lequesne Index, WOMAC and VAS scores were recorded to assess pain and function during a 12-month period. Results There was no significant difference in characteristics of patient demographics. Our finding indicate that WOMAC, VAS score, and Lequesne Index values during follow-up visits exhibited a decrease, signifying improvement in the clinical condition. Notably, scores were significantly more favorable with the 30 mg of HA injection compared to the 60 mg of HA injection. Conclusion This study suggests that the triple low-dose injection of HMW HA is more effective in improving WOMAC, VAS scores and Lequesne Index values than a single high-dose injection.
