As an emerging technology, 3D printing holds much promise for foot and ankle reconstruction and difficult-to-treat pathologies. The first text of its kind, Clinical Application of 3D Printing in Foot and Ankle Surgery provides comprehensive, in-depth operative coverage as well as opinions and case examples from surgeons who are currently using 3D printing in their practices. This ground-breaking volume sets the standard for this rapidly advancing field and provides practical, real-world guidance on incorporating 3D printing into your surgical practice.
Presents clinically focused content in a templated, easy-to-read format of bulleted summaries and practical advice based on the editor’s and authors’ experience.
Features a practical focus on procedures, techniques, and cases, with tips, tricks, and pearls throughout.
Includes decision-making criteria on when to consider 3D printing.
Provides preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative protocols developed by the authors.
Contains high-quality photographs and 3D imaging.
