Leveraging 3D Printing to Deliver Superior Results

Dr. Nucci and his team create custom 3D prints made in-house, which can enhance surgical outcomes by:

  • creating precise anatomical models that are used for preoperative planning in complex procedures

  • building guides to ensure precise bone cuts for angulated limbs, reducing surgery time
