Humerus

Using a 3D printer for simulation
before humerus fixation surgery

A possible fracture of the humerus is a fracture of the neck of the humerus, which is one of the "four major fractures". It can be caused by the recoil of a fall and hand or direct impact, and can lead to widespread subcutaneous bleeding in a few days.
A fracture of the neck of the humerus is treated with a surgery called "osteosynthesis," in which a bone joint material (screw or plate) is inserted directly into the broken part and fixed.
JMC Lab's preoperative simulator allows us to create a full-scale model of the patient and verify the fixation of the plate before surgery.

Advantages of using 3D printers
in fixed preoperative simulation

There are four major advantages to confirming the depth and angle of implant placement in advance.

• Shorter treatment time
  
• Improvement of treatment accuracy
  
• Reducing the burden
  on patients
  
• Improvement of techniques
  

Main uses

• Confirmation of procedures and treatment plans
• Training of trainees and students
• Development tools, sales tools, and marketing tools for medical device manufacturers
