Abstract
3D printing allows translation of a virtual planning to tangible models. Domestic 3D printers in hospital facilitate obtaining autonomously («do it yourself») realistic reproductions at minimum cost. ObjectiveTo describe our methodology for clinical translation of domestic 3D printing in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, define indications and specific applications according to clinical experience. Materials and methodsA prospective observational analytical study of 63 patients treated in our service from 2014 in which domestic 3D printing is included in the care process. Variables such as degree of satisfaction perceived by patients, accuracy, time or exposure to ionizing radiation during surgery are analyzed. ResultsA workflow is defined to obtaining 3D printed model using freely available programs and domestic 3D printers, and variables included in the study improved. ConclusionsDomestic 3D printing has numerous applications in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology. Clinical experience has allowed defining a workflow with satisfactory clinical results.
