Track: 3D Printing and Digital Technology in Orthopedic Surgery

Additive manufacturing and digital planning technology have opened new possibilities in orthopedic surgery, building directly on advances discussed in implant design, biomaterials, and biomechanics. This session examines current applications of 3D printing and digital technology across complex reconstruction and revision surgery.

Key Topics and Highlights:

Patient-Specific 3D-Printed Implants: Standard implants cannot always address unique bone anatomy. This sub-topic covers custom implant design for complex acetabular reconstruction and cases connected to orthopedic oncology limb-salvage surgery.

3D-Printed Surgical Guides: Custom cutting and drilling guides aim to improve surgical accuracy. This sub-topic reviews evidence comparing patient-specific instrumentation to conventional technique.

Digital Preoperative Planning and Templating: Advanced imaging-based software allows precise implant sizing and positioning planning before surgery. This sub-topic explores current digital planning workflows.

Manufacturing Workflow and Regulatory Pathways: Bringing a patient-specific device to the operating room requires a coordinated design-to-production pipeline. This sub-topic addresses regulatory considerations that vary across global markets.

Cost and Access Considerations for Custom Devices: Production time and expense remain barriers to wider adoption. This sub-topic examines strategies for expanding access to patient-specific technology globally.

If your research advances 3D printing or digital planning in orthopedic surgery, we welcome you to submit an abstract and share your work shaping increasingly personalized approaches to joint reconstruction.
