Japan successfully implemented the use of 3D printing make bone graft medical titanium plate

Japan's Kyoto University Medical Research Division teams such as August 9 announced that it has made ​​a bone for different patients can be produced by the three-dimensional structure of the 3D printing technology, to four Sunrui titanium plate transplant patients with cervical disc successfully improved hand numb other symptoms.

    The researchers also try to do a part of the femur and spine skull . Kyoto University lecturer vine Chiun Kai said : "You can expect the technology used in the production of artificial bone resection due to a wide range of malignancies , such as bone , bone graft treatment , etc. It is believed that this technology is particularly beneficial to the complex three-dimensional shape of the pelvis buy titanium bar and other bones . replication . "

    The team used 3D printing device to the patient's neck computed tomography (CT) data, layer by layer superimposed on a thin layer of titanium powder fired to produce a fully fit patients with cervical bone .

    Artificial chemical surface treatment and heat treatment , so that more patients with bone bonding . The artificial disc implant from the surgical removal of the success of improved hand numbness , difficulty walking and other symptoms .

    The transplant surgery is surgery clinical trials titanium bar Affiliated Hospital of Kyoto University .
