The Case Reports in 3D Printing in Orthopedic Implants section of the Orthopedic Surgery Case Reports Journal highlights clinical applications of additive manufacturing and patient-specific implant technologies in orthopedic practice. This section focuses on real-world cases demonstrating how 3D printing is transforming implant design, surgical precision, and personalized patient care.
3D printing has enabled the development of customized orthopedic implants, surgical guides, and prostheses tailored to individual anatomy. Case reports in this area provide valuable insights into design rationale, surgical workflow, biomechanical performance, clinical outcomes, and long-term follow-up of 3D-printed orthopedic solutions.
