3D-printing of the elbow in complex posttraumatic elbow-stiffness for preoperative planning, surgery-simulation and postoperative control

Abstract Background Restoration of mobility of the elbow after post-traumatic elbow stiffening due to osteophytes is often a problem. Methods The anatomical structures were segmented within the CT-scan. Afterwards, the Multi Jet Fusion 3D-printing was applied to create the model made of biocompatibl...
