描述

Ankle fracture is the most common intra-articular fracture, accounting for 3.92% of all fractures. There have been many clinical reports on the use of open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of posterior malleolar fractures, with satisfactory clinical results. Surgical treatment requires precise anatomical reduction and firm, stable internal fixation. The concept of digital orthopedic precision has been used to plan and perform precisely individualized surgery, thus improving the accuracy and safety of surgery and reducing surgical trauma. 3D printing technology is a modern technology that focuses on digitalization and precision surgery and provides a bridge between real and virtual surgery. Research has confirmed that 3D printing-assisted surgical treatment allows not only exposure of the ankle fracture site but also preoperative determination of the fracture classification and selection of appropriate fixation methods and materials. Advanced preparation of these materials facilitates their direct use during surgery, and only fine adjustment is needed in cases of mismatching, which improves the accuracy of surgery and greatly reduces the operation time.
