P076 Bespoke patient implant manufacture in acute trauma: a case series

Whilst three-dimensional planning and patient specific implants are the mainstay of elective reconstruction, less has been reported in relation to acute trauma partly due to unacceptable production turnout times and limited access to 3D printing facilities. We will show how inhouse 3D printing facilities and planning software can be used to produce patient specific implants in the acute setting, greatly reducing operative time with excellent results.
