Patient-specific 3D tibial model: transforming meniscal allograft transplantation and surgical planning
The integration of patient-specific 3D-printed models into surgical planning and execution may improve accuracy and efficiency in complex MAT procedures that also involve tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction. These models offer detailed anatomical reference points that facilitate more precise graft selection, tunnel placement, and intraoperative decision-making. However, further studies are needed to validate their dimensional accuracy, evaluate clinical outcomes in larger cohorts, and determine their feasibility for routine use in orthopedic practice.
