Trabecular 3D Printed Titanium Cranial Implant Performed in Argentina
3D printed cranial implants are not new, and the approval process has been a long one. Back in 2013 a cranial implant made news when the FDA approved the surgery on a US patient with an opaque material, and another was achieved using transparent resin on a Dutch patient. But this application of 3D printing is easily one of the most amazing — and one that makes a huge difference to people’s lives. Now a new case has emerged of the first cranial prosthesis 3D printed in Trabecular Titanium and implanted in a patient in Argentina.
