Application of three-dimensional printing teaching model in knee surgery

摘要

Clinical medical education is the focus of education and training of medical students in China, and it is also a difficult point of teach- ing. In recent years, how to improve the quality of teaching through teaching model has become a hot topic. Three-dimensional print- ing systems improve the accuracy of surgical procedures. 1 In the field of knee surgery, they are mainly used for navigated total knee replacement. Three-dimensional printing systems also are excellent measurement tools, and systems can potentially be used to analyze the preoperative and postoperative 3-dimensional knee kinematics and stability. Intraoperative analyses of stability, impingement, and range of motion can be directly compared with the preoperative analysis, which allows immediate modifications if necessary. 2 Orthopedic surgeons need to master knee expertise as soon as possible during their internship so that they can adapt to the work quickly.
