Douglas Dunlop, consultant orthopaedic surgeon, mentioned: “The benefits to the patient by way of this pioneering procedure are numerous.
“The titanium utilised to make the hip is much more resilient and has been printed to match the patient’s precise measurements – this need to increase match and could decrease the chance of obtaining to have another surgery.
“The bone graft material that has been employed has outstanding biocompatibility and strength and will fill the defect behind the bone nicely, fusing it all together.”
Professor Richard Oreffo, at the University of Southampton, mentioned: “The 3D printing of the implant in titanium, from CAT scans of the patient and stem cell graft is cutting edge and delivers the probability of enhanced outcomes for individuals.
“Fractures and bone loss due to trauma or illness are a considerable clinical and socioeconomic problem. Growing bone at the stage of injury alongside a hip implant that has been made to the precise match of the patient is fascinating and offers genuine opportunities for improved recovery and quality of existence.”
Mrs Richard said: “The way medicine has evolved is amazing. I hope that this will be the final time that I have to have a hip operation. I truly feel enthusiastic to have this pioneering surgery and I can see what a benefit it will have to me.”
The 3D printing technique has previously been utilized to develop a new jaw and a new pelvis for sufferers.
A similar technique has also been employed to develop a 3D printed customised hip substitute for a 15 year outdated Swedish woman by Belgium-based implant company Mobelife, enabling her to stroll once more.
