Clinical Application of 3D Printing Technology in the Treatment of Complex Tibial Plateau Fracture
Abstract：Objective To explore the feasibility and clinical value of three-dimension(3D)printing technology in the treatment of complex tibial plateau fracture. Methods Spiral CT scan was performed in patients with complex tibial plateau fracture. DICOM data were imported into Mimics software. The 3D printing technology was used to print the fracture models. The reclassilifcation was performed on the basis of three-dimensional measurements. According to 3D printing models,we de-cided the surgical approach and position,the reducted of fractures and choose the internal fixation. Results Reconstructed 3D printing models of complex tibial plateau fracture could show the characteristics of fracture accurately,help doctors to reclassify the fracture from the three-column,and decide preoperative plan in the tibial plateau fracture. Conclusion The 3D printing technology is helpful for the treatment of complex tibial plateau fracture,which should be a conventional step in the manage-ment of complex tibial plateau fracture.
