3D surgical printing and pre contoured plates for acetabular fractures.
We describe the methodical and possibilities of 3D surgical printing in preoperative planning of acetabular fractures showing a case of a 45-year-old with an associated transverse fracture of the left acetabulum with posterior wall fracture, with multiple fragments, and posterior ipsilateral hip dislocation, defending the do it your-self mode.
