title: [Research progress of three-dimensional digital model for repair and reconstruction of knee joint].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review recent advance in the application and research of three-dimensional digital knee model.
  
  
  METHODS
  The recent original articles about three-dimensional digital knee model were extensively reviewed and analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The digital three-dimensional knee model can simulate the knee complex anatomical structure very well. Based on this, there are some developments of new software and techniques, and good clinical results are achieved.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  With the development of computer techniques and software, the knee repair and reconstruction procedure has been improved, the operation will be more simple and its accuracy will be further improved.
