Pelvis

Using a 3D Printer for Bone Graft Simulation Models

Pelvic fractures include pelvic ring fractures, which occur when a large external force is applied, such as in an accident, and avulsion fractures, which occur in rare cases due to trauma from sports.
If the posterior element of the pelvic ring fracture is destroyed and unstable, surgery is required, and screws, plates, or spinal implants are used to fix the fracture.
Bone grafting is often required in surgery, and the grafting methods include autologous bone grafting, artificial bone grafting, and allogeneic bone grafting.
JMC Lab's preoperative simulator allows us to create a full-scale model of the patient and verify the fixation of the plate and the position of the graft before surgery.

Advantages of osteosynthesis material (implant, plate) installation simulation model

It is possible to perform the processes up to the placement of the implant, including osteotomy, drilling, and fixation. The shape of the graft site can be checked in advance for autogenous bone grafting.
