Abstract

Introduction: The popularity of 3D printing-assisted surgery has surged over the previous decade. The tool’s limited use in our context prevents us from taking advantage of all of its applications and benefits for the patient. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study on lower limb disease in patients treated at our institution, analyzing each stage of the procedure and its applicability in planning, surgical execution, and implant development. Results: We describe 12 cases in which 3D printing was used to treat acetabular defects, bone tumor resections, and long bone sequelae. Conclusions: Our series and the literature reviewed demonstrate that 3D printing-assisted surgery improves plan predictability while also reducing surgical times, bleeding, and intraoperative radiation at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, no complications from this technology have been reported.
