Description
Summary:While 3D printing in hand surgery is still in its infancy, it offers new avenues in research, teaching, and personalized medicine. For these reasons, some surgeons may want to jump on the bandwagon of this trendy technology. But we cannot forget that its superiority over conventional techniques has not been demonstrated. Surgeons who want to work with 3D printed objects must master their use and the entire manufacturing process, otherwise they risk becoming dependent on engineers and/or medical device companies. L’impression 3D en chirurgie de la main en est encore à un stade balbutiant. Certes, elle offre de nouvelles perspectives en matière de recherche, d’enseignement et de médecine personnalisée. Pour ces raisons, les chirurgiens doivent s’en emparer pour la faire progresser. Comme toutes les nouvelles technologies, elle fait l’objet actuellement d’un engouement par effet de mode. Il ne faut pas perdre de vue qu’elle n’a pas encore fait la preuve de sa supériorité par rapport aux techniques conventionnelles et que les chirurgiens doivent rester maîtres de l’ensemble de la chaîne de fabrication et d’utilisation au risque de devenir dépendants d’ingénieurs et/ou d’industriels.
