Both CAD-based orthopedic and neurosurgical planning, and PSG design and 3D-printing have evolved beyond recognition since their first clinical application nearly a decade ago. This presentation will explore the lessons learned during that journey, describe the current state of the art, and consider where these techniques may take us in the future. Along the way concerns and controversies surrounding the use of this technology will be discussed, and the huge potential of patient-specific implants reviewed.
