Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology with significant potential to revolutionize surgical practices.
  • Its application in orthopedic surgery, particularly in shoulder procedures, is rapidly evolving.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the current applications of 3D printing in shoulder surgery.
  • To review the use of 3D printing in shoulder arthroplasty, recurrent shoulder instability, and orthopedic shoulder traumatology.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies utilizing 3D printing in shoulder surgery.
  • Analysis of the impact of 3D printing on surgical planning, execution, and patient outcomes across different shoulder conditions.

Main Results:

  • 3D printing improves glenoid component positioning in shoulder arthroplasty, though long-term cost-effectiveness requires further study.
  • For shoulder instability, 3D printing aids in assessing bony lesions, planning patient-tailored surgeries, and creating custom implants.
  • In orthopedic trauma, 3D printing enhances fracture pattern understanding, facilitates personalized planning, and aids in surgical training.

Conclusions:

  • Current literature indicates objective improvements in preoperative planning and surgical procedures using 3D printed models.
  • 3D printing offers benefits such as reduced intraoperative time and the development of patient-specific surgical instruments.
  • The implementation of 3D printing in orthopedic surgery demonstrates tangible advantages for patient care and surgical efficiency.
