3D Printing Titanium Alloy Titanium Plate To Achieve Accurate And Efficient Reconstruction Of The Mandible
Recently, the maxillofacial surgery team of the Department of Stomatology and Maxillofacial Surgery of Qilu Hospital of Shandong University used 3D printing technology to successfully perform the first domestic titanium alloy titanium plate mandible reconstruction surgery for an oral tumor patient.
The surgical patient was a 61-year-old male who had a recurrence of a malignant tumor of the mandible. To ensure the success of the operation, the medical team decided to remove the tumor and rebuild the mandible. To this end, the team used digital technology to simulate the resection and reconstruction process, and applied 3D printing technology to print out a titanium alloy titanium plate that exactly matches the shape of the patient's jaw bone.
Titanium alloy titanium plate has significant advantages in this surgery：
1. High Degree Of Fit: 3D printing technology ensures that the titanium alloy titanium plate perfectly matches the shape of the patient's jaw bone, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.
2. Superior Performance: Titanium alloy has the characteristics of high strength, low weight and corrosion resistance, which makes the titanium plate significantly improve in bending strength and bending fatigue resistance, ensuring the stability and durability of the reconstructed mandible.
3. Promote Healing: The high fit between the titanium alloy titanium plate and the patient's bone surface helps to reduce postoperative complications, promote bone seam binding and tissue compensation, thereby accelerating postoperative recovery.
The operation went smoothly. While removing the tumor, the patient successfully rebuilt the mandible and restored its normal function and appearance. At present, the patient has recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
The successful implementation of this operation not only reflects the innovative application of 3D printing technology and titanium alloy materials in the medical field, but also demonstrates the leading position and professional technical level of the hospital's oral and maxillofacial surgery team.
