3D printing and three column concept in surgical treatment of tibial plateau fracture.

ABSTRACT: The aim of study was to evaluate the efficacy of the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing model for preoperative planning in treatment of tibial plateau fracture. Besides, we also investigated the effect of 3D printing technology on the communication between doctors and patients. Thirty-three patients with tibial plateau fractures were enrolled in the study from March 2022 to July 2023. A 3D digital model of each tibial plateau fracture was constructed, and the individual model was exported to a 3D printer for the construction of a full solid model. This 3D-printing model, along with the Three-Column classification, was utilized to plan the operation. During each operation, the operative time and amount of blood loss were recorded as primary outcome measures. Patients were followed to ev
