3D printing method for next-day acetabular fracture surgery using a surface filtering pipeline: feasibility and 1-year clinical results

ConclusionsWe presented the first clinical practical technique to use 3D printing in acetabular fracture surgery. By introducing a new surface filtering pipeline, we reduced printing time and cost compared to the current literature and the state of the art. Low costs and easy handling of the 3D printing workflow make it usable in nearly every hospital setting for acetabular fracture surgery.
