These goals are highly achievable with a surgical procedure, but likely cannot be performed to your satisfaction without surgery.

Can you 3D print implants?

3D printing allows an implant to be adapted to the patient’s body by conforming the implant to a 3D model. These 3D models can be generated using standard medical imaging technologies, such as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) and computer tomography (CT).

What is a iFuse 3D implant?

The iFuse-3D implant is the first 3D-printed triangular titanium implant designed for fusion of the SI joint. The iFuse-3D implant has a proprietary 3D-printed surface with enhanced porosity, which mimics cancellous bone and allows for enhanced bone ongrowth and ingrowth (MacBarb 2017, Part 16).

What is the best age to get a nose job?
