Using Titanium LPW-TI64-GD23-TYPE5 in the Individual Contour Grafting of Bone Defects with 3D Implants

摘要

The paper proposed a method of replacement of bone defects of a basin with individual 3D-printed implants of medical titanium LPW-TI64-GD23-TYPE5 ASTM F136. The design of the implant was carried out in view of determining the density of the surrounding bone tissue by Hounsfield's scale. We used the method of volume printing by type multi selecting laser sintering. A clinical example of using the method of individual contouring of the defect of bones of a basin with the assessment of bone density by Hounsfield's scale was given. The method of individual contouring of the defect of the basin bones with the assessment of bone density by Hounsfield's scale enables the surgeon to more accurately determine the tactics of surgical intervention: opting for bone grafting or the use of augmented. In the case of manufacturing an individual 3D augment, this method gives the possibility to adjust its geometry taking into account the density of the bone tissue, thereby giving it additional stability. If there is a need for screws-we can preadjust the length and direction of stroke so that the main part of the screw might pass in the support ability area of the bone tissue. We believe that the software and the approach to preoperative planning we have used can make surgery more convenient for the surgeon and personnel of the medical institution.
