3D Printing in Orthopedics

The integration of 3D printing in orthopedics is transforming preoperative planning, implant design, and patient-specific solutions. This session highlights the role of additive manufacturing in creating anatomical models for surgical simulation, custom jigs for precise alignment, and personalized implants for complex reconstructions. Case studies will demonstrate applications in trauma, joint replacement, spinal surgery, and pediatric deformity correction. Presenters will discuss materials science, regulatory pathways, and cost-effectiveness of 3D solutions. Advances in biofabrication and tissue scaffolds for future regenerative applications will also be explored. This session connects orthopedic innovation with engineering precision to improve surgical accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes.
