New 3D printing technology brings good news to knee joint transplantation
Release date: 2014-06-17
Paul Wilmott, a 51-year-old skier in the UK, worried that he could no longer ski after the recurrence of his left knee injury. He was told that he would not be able to carry out his favorite skiing and cycling.
But a new type of custom knee replacement surgery that uses 3D technology brings him the gospel.
After implantation, Paul said that he no longer has pain, even in sports. He said that the new knee is unbeatable and he is very fortunate to accept a new type of knee implant.
Paul accepts the implanted knees tailored by 3D printing technology from the US company Confirmis.
The company claims that the new implants will allow patients to recover faster, while allowing fewer bones and tissues to be removed during surgery and returning knee function to a new state.
Bone surgeon Carrington said the technology is a huge improvement. Last year he used a total of 5 partial knee replacements with the products of Confirmis.
The Confirmis implant requires only 7 mm of bone tissue to be removed compared to standard implant rejection of 12 mm bone tissue.
To perform an implant replacement, a CT scan of the patient is first performed to produce a 3D image of the knee. The engineer designed the replacement joint based on the scan results. Then use 3D printing technology to make a model of the specific design. Customized implants were made using model engineers using polyethylene plastic and cobalt chrome. The material is durable for 15 years and these components are exactly the same shape as the patient's knee.
3D engineers also printed iJigs, a small custom instrument that accurately interfaces with the resected bones, allowing less bone tissue to be removed.
After the operation, Paul said that he suffered from knee pain in his 30s and did not torture him after surgery. He was very satisfied with the results of the operation.
