3D Printing Helping Knee-Replacement Patients

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Every year, more than 600,000 people have knee-replacement surgery. Now, 3D printing is helping patients regain their mobility. In traditional knee replacement surgery, the surgeon selects an off-the-shelf implant from a range of standard fixed sizes. They then have to make the necessary adjustments to fit the implant to the patient during the procedure.
