Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The issue of selecting a material for bone reconstruction in orthopaedic surgery remains relevant and continues to evolve in tandem with technological advancements. This review aims to analyze one relatively novel aspect of orthopedics, namely, the combined use of bone grafts with 3D technology.A literature search was conducted using modern actual European and American medical data bases. All search results were filtered by language and period of 2014-2024. There were more then 10000 articles by keywords and after exclusion remained 10 articles. For analyzing cohort studies we used Coleman Methodology scale and table viewing for each of study for analyzing demographic data, clinical and radiological outcomes. There were a different types of researches, including clinical case study, retrospective cohort study, and prospective cohort study. All the articles reviewed provide radiological findings and four present clinical outcomes after treatment.The findings from the research have demonstrated the potential of the chosen approach. However, at present, there has been a relatively small number of published works on the relevant topic, even including descriptions of clinical cases. It is certainly true that the integration of additive technologies with bone allotransplantation has great potential for complex orthopedic cases and can be recommended for widespread adoption in global practice.Keywords: bone cyst, 3D printing, bone defect, bone allograft, allograft, additive technology.
