[3D printing in the field of shoulder surgery].
Der Unfallchirurg 2022 May
The 3D printing technology is a relatively new procedure with a high potential, especially in the field of shoulder surgery. The 3D printing procedures are increasingly being developed and also gaining new users. Principally, 3D printing procedures can be applied preoperatively in planning the surgical procedure, patient clarification and in teaching; however, the technology is increasing being used intraoperatively. In addition to intraoperative visualization of the models, 3D printing permits the use of individual and specific instruments and implants. This allows the precise transfer of the preoperative planning to the surgical procedure. Inaccuracies are mainly caused by soft tissues. The 3D printing can be beneficial in the fields of arthroplasty, shoulder instability as well as orthopedic trauma. The literature shows promising results in relation to duration of surgery, blood loss and clinical results of the procedure. On the other hand, it is still unclear which indications warrant the use of 3D printing. Other aspects that raise questions are the time of planning, the production time and the additional cost that the use of 3D printing entails. Nonetheless, 3D printing represents a meaningful enhancement of the portfolio of surgeons, which becomes highly beneficial and useful in complex situations. Furthermore, this procedure enables a certain amount of flexibility when reacting to certain circumstances.
