3D printing method for next-day acetabular fracture surgery using a surface filtering pipeline: feasibility and 1-year clinical results

Introduction In orthopedic surgery, 3D printing is a technology with promising medical applications. Publications show promising results in acetabular fracture surgery over the last years using 3D printing. However, only little information about the workflow and circumstances of how to properly derive the 3D printed fracture model out of a CT scan is published.
