Printed for Purpose

3D-printed medical implants represent one of the sharper edges of modern medicine — custom-fabricated structures designed for a specific body, with all the promise and uncertainty that entails. The writers here have had them placed and speak to what that means in practice.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe life with 3D-printed medical implants: the conversations that led to the decision, the surgical process, the monitoring and follow-up, any complications or adjustments required, and the longer-term experience of living with technology that was made specifically for one's own anatomy.

Who it's for

For patients researching or recovering from 3D-printed implant procedures, their families, and clinicians who want to understand the patient side of this emerging field.
