Individual 3D Replacements of Skeletal Defects

Publication at First Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

In this work several clinical cases of production of individual bone defect replacements will be presented. Special replacements were produced on the basis of 3D geometric models designed from available diagnostic imaging methods (CT and MRI), and their following computer processing.

For production of implants by conventional CNC machining were used in clinical practice commonly used biomaterials (titanium, PEEK, UHWMPE), which can be easily machined. The implants were produced for a particular patient individually with millimetre accuracy so that not only fully functional, but also aesthetic defect replacements were achieved
