Popis: Rapid Prototyping and CT based 3D modelling implementation in orthopaedic reconstructive surgery is presented in the article. Bone models rendered in SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) were used in pre-operative planning. Physical models were made based on imaging data obtained in standard CT scans. Better pre-planning, surgical team preparation and an insight into possible difficulties are the obvious advantage of the method as well as resulting reduced complication rate. Its clinical applicability was confirmed during surgical procedures.
