How cool is technology? This is a patient's 3D printed arthritic hip!
The print is made to be an exact copy (taken from CT scan), sent to Switzerland, made into a "patient specific prosthetic" and then implanted in Adelaide.
Now she is a new hip, specifically made to replicate her size, pelvic shape and hip position!
We have an amazing list of orthopaedic specialists we recommend, so if you need surgery, ensure you choose the right surgeon!
Science, medicine and technology all rolled into one 😉
