Abstract(s)
The additive manufacturing is currently an indispensable tool m different áreas. Its
application in orthopaedic área hás been essential in the development of surgical procedures,
visualization of anatomical stmctures and especially in the new implants design to improve
the conditions for patients' treatment. The present study considered different techniques of
additive manufacturing applied in design, diagnosis and planning of a locked intramedullary
nail used in the femoral diaphysis fractures (type A). This study was complemented with the
follow-up of a surgery case to the femoral diaphysis fracture. It was performed a
biomechanical analysis using the fínite element method and 3D models through a printing in
íüll colour, allowing to obtain the colour leveis related to von Mises stresses. AU the studied
techniques have proved to be important, since they allow a three-dimensional view of real
dimensions of the implant by helping health professionals to do a more accurate and safe
surgical planning.
