Welcome to 3DOS! The 3D Orthopaedic Special Interest Group: where orthopaedic surgeons interested in 3D healthcare technology come to collaborate. MISSION: to connect, discover, educate and share experiences in cutting edge 3D healthcare technologies.
A Yale medical student at the @YaleCEID helped me 3D print these pelvic models for a complex hip replacement. I can visualize how my implants will fit within the unique shapes of this patient’s deformity. @YaleOrtho @yaleseas @Yale@YaleMed#3Dprinting, #engineering, #ortho
Many #cancers involving the pelvis can grow to extreme sizes before discovered. If localized then surgeries like external hemipelvectomy w/ @MatthewHoudekMD are possible through a multidisciplinary medical & surgical team @MayoClinic . #3Dprinting for surgical planning.
5 years ago we envisioned a day when orthopedic surgeons could design and 3D print custom implants right in their own hospital. Thanks to this new North American consortium we are edging ever closer to realizing that future. #3Dprinting
Engineers becoming part of the clinical team makes treatments possible in real time. @hunterdickens9 works closely w/ Dr Mark Morrey @MayoOrtho to provide custom #3Dprinted surgical guides for complex #shoulder reconstructions manufactured in house. #orthotwitter @MayoInnovation
