Clinical Applications of 3D Printing in Foot and Ankle Surgery

Description:



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.
