Japanese researchers are developing medical 3D printing custom hip replacement technology

In many ways, Japan is a unique country, for example, it is the country with the highest proportion of the elderly. In fact, more than 33% of Japan's population is over 60 years old. In response to the challenges of aging, Japanese researchers have been working hard to develop new and more economical treatments for common diseases in the elderly.

Researchers from Nagoya City University believe that 3D printing technology may be the key to this process. So the school began to work with metal 3D printing startup J 3D to find an effective treatment for hip fractures and other hip-related complications, such as rheumatoid diseases. Because current artificial total hip arthroplasty is inefficient, costly, and error prone, they have begun to develop a 3D printed artificial hip joint that can be customized to the patient's specific conditions, thereby reducing complications. possibility.

This may be a very important innovation because hip fractures are a very common condition in the elderly. And because the number of Japanese people over the age of 65 will increase significantly in the next few decades, the demand for artificial total hip replacement surgery is expected to skyrocket.
