3D printing technology is revolutionizing orthopedic surgery by enabling patient-specific implants that match your unique anatomy. Alaska orthopedic surgeons now have access to 3D-printed titanium implants for complex joint replacements, revision surgeries, and bone defect reconstruction. Custom 3D-printed implants are particularly valuable for ankle replacement, where standard implants may not fit every patient, and for complex revision cases where bone loss requires a tailored solution.
This technology reduces surgical time, improves implant fit, and enhances long-term outcomes.
