An additively Manufactured Titanium Implant for Neurocranial Reconstruction (3D Printing Europe 2015)

Due to an injury, a Syrian patient in an Israeli hospital was missing a large part of his os frontis. The implant was modeled using a CT scan of the patient's cranium, additively manufactured in titanium and finally implanted. After a quick and successful operation, the patient is alive today.
