Unlike traditional medical devices, customized prostheses produced through 3D printing mark a shift from standardized, one-size-fits-all solutions to personalized, precision-tailored designs. This book provides a comprehensive overview of key topics including foundational concepts, design preparation, clinical applications, potential risks, safety considerations, and regulatory oversight related to 3D-printed personalized prostheses in orthopedics. It serves as both a theoretical and technical reference for clinicians, biomedical engineers, regulatory professionals, and researchers involved in the development and application of personalized orthopedic prostheses using 3D printing technology.
