China3D printingNet, October 2nd, three researchers from Bucharest, Romania have completed a multi-center cohort study called “Cranioplastypatientof3D printingSpecialized implants”, studied about 50 patients with various skull defects from 10 hospitals. Including skulls
After congenital abnormalities, growth of skull fractures, surgical decompression, trauma or tumor surgery, cranioplasty is performed to repair these defects, which may cause aesthetic, functional, and psychological effects.Before we have seen3D printingUsed in this type of process.
The abstract states: “In all patients, neurosurgeons use3D printing, CNC milling and drilling implants or patient-specific implants to repair skull defects, which are customized by two world-renowned manufacturers based on data obtained by 3D CT reconstruction of patients. “
Among the 50 patients between the ages of 5-68, 16 were women and 34 were men, while 22 were in urban areas and 28 were in rural areas. 31 cases had trauma, 16 cases had decompression, and 3 cases had tumors.Neurosurgeons use scans and data from the patient’s 3D CT reconstruction to determine whether they should be used3D printingOr CAD-CAM manufacturing to manufacture implants for patients.
In almost all cases, the process is the same
