摘要

Orthopaedic surgery has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, particularly with the emergence of personalized implants tailored to individual patient needs. A key driver of this progress is the integration of additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing. This review article explores the diverse applications and advantages of AM in orthopaedics, highlighting recent innovations, challenges, and potential future breakthroughs. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of AM for custom orthopaedic implants, covering essential aspects such as biocompatible material selection and precise design methodologies. Key findings of this review include AM’s ability to enhance patient-specific treatment outcomes, shorten production timelines, and improve cost efficiency. In this review work also examines critical challenges, including regulatory barriers, material constraints, and ethical considerations in adopting this technology. By summarizing cutting-edge advancements, clinical applications, and the role of AM in personalized orthopaedic care, this article serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field.
