Background: Musculoskeletal abnormalities are estimated to be 21.1% of all birth defects, if left untreated such defects represent high morbidity in patients. Advances in biomedical technologies such as prosthetics and 3D printing can further improve treatment in orthopedics and enhance patient’s quality of life. The aim of this paper is to review the literature in search of the state of the art in 3D printing related to orthopedics and musculoskeletal birth defects.Methods: A comprehensive literature search was performed in indexed databases. Keywords included: orthopedics,”, “3d printing”, “congenital”, “malformations”, “defects” and “treatment”. A total of 29 articles were suitable for the subject matter and included for this review.Results and Discussion: 3D printing allows a better surgical planning in the orthopedic field as it can be used as a surgical guide or for creating custom 3D-printed tools, devices, patient-specific prostheses, and implants. Also, complex limb malformations can be modeled, and further 3D printed to accurately understand, study, and plan a surgical approach. Scaffold and bio-ink for 3D bioprinters can also be capable of developing bone and cartilage suitable for complex orthopedic and pediatric remodeling. Conclusion: 3D printing in orthopedics and musculoskeletal birth defects is an important and innovative subject, as it allows to make better surgical approaches and supply the structural function of the original malformed tissue.

Epidémiologie des malformations congénitales en KazakhstanIntroduction. Les malformations congénitales sont la principale cause de morbidité et de mortalité chez les nouveau-nés. Les données épidémiologiques détaillées sur les anomalies congénitales au Kazakhstan n'ont pas encore été rapportées. L'objectif de l'étude était d'estimer la prévalence des malformations congénitales et leur répartition régionale au Kazakhstan. En outre, l'étude visait à évaluer le taux de mortalité par cause, les taux de mortalité périnatale, néonatale, post-néonatale et infantile pour la période 2015-2019. Matériel et méthodes. L'étude transversale descriptive était basée sur des données obtenues du Centre républicain pour le développement de la santé (18 régions du Kazakhstan) au cours de la période 2015-2019. Résultats. En 2019, la prévalence des malformations congénitales totales a diminué de 30 à 40 % par rapport à 2015. Dans le même temps, la prévalence des ABSTRACT Introduction. Congenital malformations are the main cause of morbidity and mortality amongst newborns. The detailed epidemiological data about congenital anomalies in Kazakhstan have not been reported yet.The objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of congenital malformations and their regional distribution in Kazakhstan. In addition, the study aimed to assess the cause-specific death rate, perinatal, neonatal, post-neonatal, and infant mortality rates for the period 2015-2019. Material and methods. The descriptive cross-sectional study was based on data obtained from the Republican Centre of Health Development (18 regions of Kazakhstan) for the period 2015-2019. Results. In 2019, the prevalence of total congenital malformations decreased by 30-40% compared to 2015. At the same time, the prevalence of congenital malformations of the respiratory system increased by 14%. The congenital cardiovascular malformations prevailed (18.3 per 10,000 live births) in 2015.

Accessing treatment at ACPA (American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association)–approved centers is challenging for individuals in rural communities. This study aims to assess how pediatric plastic surgery outreach clinics impact access for patients with orofacial cleft and craniosynostosis in Mississippi. An isochrone map was used to determine mean travel times from Mississippi counties to the sole pediatric hospital and the only ACPA-approved team in the state. This analysis was done before and after the establishment of two outreach clinics to assess differences in travel times and cost of travel to specialized plastic surgery care. Two sample t-tests were used for analysis. The addition of outreach clinics in North and South Mississippi led to a significant reduction in mean travel times for patients with cleft and craniofacial diagnoses across the state's counties (1.81 hours vs 1.46 hours, P < 0.001). Noteworthy travel cost savings were observed after the introduction of outreach clinics when considering both the pandemic gas prices ($15.27 vs $9.80, P < 0.001) and post-pandemic prices ($36.52 vs $23.43, P < 0.001). The addition of outreach clinics in Mississippi has expanded access to specialized healthcare for patients with cleft and craniofacial differences resulting in reduced travel time and cost savings for these patients. Establishing specialty outreach clinics in other rural states across the United States may contribute significantly to reducing burden of care for patients with clefts and craniofacial differences. Future studies can further investigate whether the inclusion of outreach clinics improves follow-up rates and surgical outcomes for these patients.
