Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Additive manufacturing (AM) enables personalized medical devices, offering advantages over traditional methods for complex geometries.
  • Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is a key AM technology for producing intricate designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a methodology for replacing a pathological talus bone with a custom-made implant using AM.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and material suitability for 3D-printed talus bone reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Generating a parametric solid model of the talus from patient CT scans of the healthy contralateral bone.
  • Utilizing finite element analysis (FEA) for material selection and structural simulation.
  • Producing the personalized talus implant using FFF technology.

Main Results:

  • High geometric accuracy was achieved in the 3D-printed models.
  • Computational time was significantly reduced compared to conventional approaches.
  • Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) was identified as the most suitable material for talus bone replacement.
  • Successful printing of multiple talus bone specimens was demonstrated.

Conclusions:

  • The developed AM methodology provides a viable approach for creating patient-specific talus bone implants.
  • FFF technology combined with FEA enables efficient and accurate production of customized orthopedic devices.
  • PEEK shows promise as an effective biomaterial for talus reconstruction.
