Abstract

Access to 3D planning and printing technology is destined to have a disruptive impact on the surgical practice of Orthopedics. Its advantages include a better understanding of the injuries, greater technical precision, shortened surgical times, decreased blood loss, and less exposure to X-rays. The aim of this publication is to provide a practical step-by-step guide using the treatment of a displaced middle-third clavicle fracture as an example.
