The utility of 3D-printed titanium grid scaffolds for the management of gunshot bone injuries in patients wounded in Russo-Ukrainian war
This study underscores the importance of adopting advanced technologies in military medicine, reflecting a shift towards patient-centered care and innovative surgical solutions in challenging combat environments. Severe defects of the long bones are frequent in warfare. 3D printed titanium grid scaffolds might be considered for bone reconstruction in selected patients without severe osteomyelitis or other severe infection in the gunshot wound area. The application of 3D titanium grid scaffolds is associated with accurate preoperative planning, good replacement of large bone defects, and improved rehabilitation process.
