Recently, in South Korea, a young man received a 3D printed heel bone through an unprecedented operation. Doctors use laser technology to make a perfect heel in 3D printed titanium and implant it into the patient. This is the first time in the world.
 
The patient is currently serving in the military. Because he has cancer and needs to remove the tumor, he went to the National Cancer Center to seek help from Dr. Kang Hyun and hopes to find a viable technology. Otherwise, doctors will have to cut because of the fear of tumor spread. Except his feet.
Of course, this patient is only 20 years old and is very nervous about the situation of losing his feet. However, because doctors already know 3D printing technology very well, the heel bone is printed for the patient 3D in just two weeks. And because of the ever-increasing knowledge and experience in 3D printing, and the accurate scanning and conversion of patient anatomy into 3D files, doctors have created new calcane that perfectly matches the patient.
 
"This calcaneus is strong enough to support the patient's weight and is perfectly suited to him," Dr. Hyun said. “This will definitely reduce the likelihood of complications.â€
Although this may be one of the earliest calcaneus, it is certainly not the first type of surgery currently performed in Korea. To date, doctors have operated more than 100 procedures involving 3D printed medical implants. Includes a patient who recently implanted a 3D printed hip bone and successfully discharged. Tiangong also learned about the amazing story of a brave girl fighting a common bone cancer that is easy to metastasize. After repeated radiation therapy, the doctor found that the traditional method was ineffective, so he decided to remove her tumor, but hesitated what to do next.
The decision to make a 3D printed hip implant became her best treatment option, and the doctor once again made history because this was the first time such surgery was done in Korea. The operation is very efficient, the operation time is cut in half, and the patient can get up and walk in a week. In the latest news, we are very happy to hear the following words:
 
“This is the X-ray perspective that Ms. Kang did last month,†said Dr. Shin Dong of Yonsei University School of Medicine. "You can see that the ligament has grown and is fully attached to the implanted hip bone, which means the operation is successful."
With the expansion of the 3D printing industry and the market for implants, there are certainly many people excited about this. However, although doctors have performed many such operations, the cost is still very interesting. Patients need a lot of close monitoring because the device is still considered a new area. This increases the manpower required for follow-up care, as well as the initial cost of equipment and procedures. Of course, with repeated successes, surgery will become more streamlined and insurers will begin to encourage these types of medical treatments.
