Advances in 3D printing for medicine are booming, and researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas have just successfully designed a 3D-printed femur model. This project could provide doctors with a new tool to better prepare bone reconstruction surgeries and develop treatments for bone tumors. The model was developed in collaboration with orthopedic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center, and initial findings from the study have been published in the “Journal of Orthopaedic Research.”
