Abstract: Joint replacements have proved a medical success providing symptomatic relief and return to mobility in many patients with arthritis. However, multiple revision surgeries due to joint failure can result in complex revision scenarios with significant bone tissue loss, in an elderly population, which poses a significant clinical challenge. Computer-aided design-computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) prototyped bespoke implants are currently being used as an alternative and innovative approach for joint restor… Show more

“…Otherwise we consider the measurements to be reliable, as indicated in Table 2. Results are comparable to previously published studies with a similar type of concept and a very good survival rate (Colen et al 2013, Baauw et al 2017, Myncke et al 2017, Goriainov et al 2018. In a study by Citak et al (2018), however, 1 of 9 patients suffered an implantassociated complication, after 13 months, which required revision and other complications occurred in 5 patients.…”

“…Baauw et al [104] reported also of the difficulty to achieve a correct position of the patient-specific implant comparing pre-surgery plan and post-surgery clinical outcome with CT scans; seven out of sixteen cases showed malposition in at least one of inclination, anteversion, rotation or position of the centre of rotation. Other good clinical results on the use of this implant were reported by Wong et al [78] and Goriainov et al [106], with one and eleven patients, respectively. The challenges in planning and implementation of the operation were highlighted, but satisfactory outcomes were reached in treating patients with disability or severe bone loss.…”

“…To date, a small number of clinical studies about 3D printed cups have been published for both off-the-shelf [73,[98][99][100][101][102] and custom implants [21,78,[103][104][105][106][107][108].…”

“…Another pro is that 3D printers with production process in the powder bed allow for reusing the utilized powder and reduction in waste quantities that would arise during conventional fabrication methods such as Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) cutting. Numerous literature reports show successfully printed dental [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], craniofacial [ 10 , 11 , 12 ] and orthopedic implants [ 13 , 14 , 15 ] using selective laser melting (SLM) and electron beam melting (EBM) technologies. The SLM stands out because in enables fabrication of very fine structures with complex internal architectures and overhangs with precision and shape fidelity higher than the EBM [ 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”
