Popis: A three-dimensional graphic model and an organ model were produced for the simulation of rotational acetabular osteotomy. A solid model, which is easily made, was used as the three-dimensional graphic model, and a rapid prototype model represented the organ model. When these two model types were compared strictly in terms of practicality in simulating operations, it appeared that the rapid prototype model, which requires a shorter fabrication period, has virtually no limitations in regard to location of use, and enables the use of surgical equipment for simulations, was superior.
