Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Because the pelvic has complex anatomical structure and is adjacent to many important organs, blood vessels, and nerves, so it is difficult to treat complex hip diseases by traditional methods. The use of 3D printing technology has significantly increased the success rate of surgery and patient satisfaction for these diseases.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the application effects of 3D printing technology in the treatment of hip diseases.
METHODS: CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved by computer. The search terms were "3D printing, development dysplasia of the hip, DDH, pelvic fracture, acetabular fracture, pelvic tumor, acetabular tumor, replacement or the hip joint" in Chinese and English. The retrieval time was from January 2000 to March 2019. A total of 103 articles were retrieved. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 41 articles were included in the final analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The advantage of 3D printing is that it does not require molds and directly creates complex geometric molds or models through digital technology. The application of 3D printing technology in the development of developmental hip dysplasia, complex pelvic and acetabular fractures and hip joint tumors significantly improve patient satisfaction and reduce complications. Therefore, the use of 3D printing technology for the diagnosis and treatment of hip joint disease has important clinical significance and broad application prospects for preoperative guidance, intraoperative operation and postoperative rehabilitation of hip joint diseases.

Key words: orthopedic implant, 3D printing, hip joint disease, acetabular fracture, developmental hip dysplasia, acetabular tumor, hip replacement, pelvic tumor
