Comparison of the feasibility of 3D printing technology in the treatment of pelvic fractures: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and prospective comparative studies

ConclusionsThe 3D group showed shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less complications, better quality of fracture reduction and fast function recovery. Therefore, compared with conventional ORIF, ORIF assisted by 3D printing technology should be a more appropriate treatment of pelvic fractures.
