Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is currently one of the most common orthopedic surgeries due to the ever-increasing average life expectancy. The constantneed for effective and accurate techniques was contributed to the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing in that field, especially for patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and custom-made implants fabrication. PSI may offer numerous benefits, such as resection accuracy, mechanical axis alignment, cost-effectiveness, and time economy. Nonetheless, the results of existing studies are controversial. For this purpose, a review article of the published articles was conducted to summarize the role of 3D-printed PSI in TKA.
