Titanium, 3D-printed prosthetic jaw implanted in Melbourne man in Australian first surgery

Surgeons have successfully implanted a titanium 3D-printed prosthetic jaw in a Melbourne man in an Australian-first operation.

It is hoped the success of the locally designed and tested part will lead to high-tech export opportunities.

The patient, 32-year-old psychologist Richard Stratton, was missing part of his jawbone including the left condile, the joint to the skull.

Saw that yes. Exciting times.

In theory this could be applied to any bones in the body

they could 3D print new spine vertebrae

3D printed Knees

foot bones etc

They have been working on it for a good while.

They don’t mention CSIRO, the rotters.

It was CSIRO that pioneered the process of 3D printing of titanium in Australia.
