Clinical Atlas of 3D Printing Bone Reconstruction

This book provides practitioners with comprehensive guidance on the application of 3D printing technology in the bone reconstruction. The 3D printed implants need to be able to maximize function and minimize complications by reinforcing strength and changing shape beyond anatomically identical design. Many of the clinical cases in this book, including pre-operative images, surgical planning, design and fabrication, 3D printing implants and guides, surgery and postoperative images, will suffice to capture the sensation of the 3D printing bone reconstruction. This book is composed of photos with minimum descriptions so that the readers can develop their imaginative view.

About the Author :
Dr. Hyun-Guy Kang is currently head of the Center for rare cancer at the National Cancer Center, South Korea, and adjunct professor of the International graduate school of cancer science and policy. Dr. Kang specializes in musculoskeletal oncology, sarcoma, and bone metastasis surgery. He strives to introduce innovative methods, including minimally invasive surgery for bone metastasis and 3D printing technology for bone reconstruction. He currently serves as vice president of the Korean Society of 3D Printing in Medicine and editor of the Korean Orthopaedic Association. He is a board member of the Korean Musculoskeletal Tumor Society. Dr. Kang writes and lectures extensively on the issues associated with 3D printing applications in bone tumor surgery both nationally and internationally. As an orthopaedic oncology surgeon, Dr. Kang continues to perform patient-specific 3D printing bone reconstruction, thus delivering the best functional results for patients.
