Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has rapidly become a transformative force in orthopedic surgery, enabling the creation of highly customized and precise medical implants and surgical tools. This review aims to provide a more systematic and comprehensive perspective on emerging 3D printing technologies-ranging from extrusion-based methods and bioink printing to powder bed fusion-and the broadening array of materials, including bioactive agents and cell-laden inks. We highlight how these technologies and materials are employed to fabricate patient-specific implants, surgical guides, prosthetics, and advanced tissue engineering scaffolds, significantly enhancing surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Despite…
