Application of computer-assisted virtual surgical procedures and three-dimensional printing of patient-specific pre-contoured plates in bicolumnar acetabular fracture fixation

ConclusionsComputer-assisted virtual surgical procedures, 3D printing technology and patient-specific pre-contoured plates can reduce the operative time and blood loss with less surgical invasiveness and ensure completely satisfactory clinical outcomes. However, promotion of this technology requires additional work.Level of evidenceIII, therapeutic study.
