Customized joint implants are required in patients with unique anatomy, or a complex bone defect or deformity resulting out of a injury, infection, failed surgery or a tumour resection in which the conventional off-the-shelf implants might not fit well. Such implants are manufactured using patient-specific data derived from preoperative imaging and can be made using conventional implant manufacturing techniques or by 3D printing.
