Key Points
The 3D-printed group exhibited reduced operative times and lower intraoperative blood loss compared to the arthrodesis group.
Statistically significant differences were observed in AOFAS and VAS scores favoring the 3D-printed group at final follow-up.
Both surgical procedures showed improvements in postoperative scores, but 3D-printed outcomes were superior in functionality.
