Mid-term results show 3D-printed titanium implants improve functional outcomes in severe acetabular defects, suggesting potential benefits.
Tantalum metal cups and augments and custom-made 3D-printed trabecular titanium implants demonstrated an excellent survival rate in the management of severe acetabular bone defects. The group of patients operated on with custom 3D-printed implants had better postoperative functional outcomes and a shorter surgical time.
