Original abstract

Medical 3D-printing is a modern technology that offers the possibility to manufacture patient-specific implants offering shorter operating times and better clinical results at a lower cost. The patient-specific implants are nowadays on the rise in cranioplasty which uses e.g. polymetylmetacrylate (PMMA) implants to correct the damaged skull. The manufacturing accuracy of such constructs remain problematic and deserve a detailed investigation. The aim of this study was to assess the inaccuracy of the bone-implant interface when PMMA skull implant is employed. The assessment was performed using the computational simulation.
