Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: There has been a surge in the use of 3D printing in modern medicine due to the plethora of benefits that it brings - shorter operative times with reduced operating room costs, along with higher quality patient and medical student education. Despite its undeniable benefits, there remains challenges left unaddressed. How can a centre start and maintain an efficient 3D printing centre? In our paper, we aim to share our set of recommendations for optimal 3D printing in Orthopaedics, leveraging on our experience after more than 500 cases.
