Three-Dimensional Printing of Models of Patellofemoral Joint Articular Cartilage in Patients With Patella Instability for Observing Joint Congruity
Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing are increasingly used in the field of orthopaedic surgery for both research and patient care. One area where they are particularly helpful is in improving our understanding of the patellofemoral (PF) joint. Heretofore, morphological studies that use 3D mo...

| description | Three-dimensional (3D) modeling and printing are increasingly used in the field of orthopaedic surgery for both research and patient care. One area where they are particularly helpful is in improving our understanding of the patellofemoral (PF) joint. Heretofore, morphological studies that use 3D models of the PF joint have primarily been based on computed tomography imaging data and thus do not incorporate articular cartilage. Here, we describe a method for creating 3D models of the articular surfaces of the PF joint based on magnetic resonance imaging. Models created using this technique can be used to improve our understanding of the morphology of the articular surfaces of the PF joint and its relationship to joint pathologies. Of particular interest is our finding of articular congruity in printed articular cartilage surfaces of dysplastic PF joints of recurrent patella dislocators. |
