"Due to severe malformation, even making a standard X-ray film became impossible, which made it very difficult to work out an operational plan for him,cheap wholesale jordans," said Dr To Kai-tsun,jordans for cheap,http://users.atw.hu/team-axone/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=14034cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, a consultant surgeon of orthopaedics and traumatology at the University of Hong Kong-Shenzhen Hospital,jordan shoes, where the surgery took place.
Doctors used a 3D-printed model of the skeleton to examine the patient’s illness precisely and establish where to cut the bones in advance,cheap jordan shoes, therefore minimising the operating time and the pain caused to the patient.
After making incisions, surgeons reconnected the bone tissue using rods.
The innovative 3D skeleton at the centre of the surgery was produced by the Shenzhen Sunshine Laser and Electronics Technology company. Bai Song,Kicksokok.com, general manager, said the model was made of photosensitive resin and cost around 2,000 yuan (?200) to produce.
"Most doctors have little knowledge about the emerging technology. T...tle demand from hospitals. The cost of 3D printing is also an issue that needs to be taken into consideration," Mr Bai told the People’s Daily Online.
One in 10,000 to 15,000 people suffer from the illness according to the World Health Organisation.
How 3D printing is helping humans August 2015
Eleven-month-old Lavesh Navedkar received life-saving heart surgery to fix a rare congenital defect, thanks to a detailed 3D printed model of his tiny organ. Doctors at the Fortis Hospital in Mulund, Mumbai, sought the help of Sahas Softtech LLP, which delivered a replica allowing surgeons to practice the exact technique ahead of time.

Dr Tarique Hussain at King's College London used a 3D-printer to create a life-size plastic copy of two-year-old Mina's heart, when surgeons were unsure whether or not they could fix a hole in her heart.
December 2014
Dr Frank Rybicki started using 3D models while working on patients with severe facial injuries, such as an Afghanistan war veteran who had a piece of bone from a leg reconstructed into a new jaw at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.

A 3D printer saved the life of a 20-month old Kaiba Gionfriddo of Ohio, USA,http://users.atw.hu/as-esport/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=17402cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg, whose rare respiratory disease stopped him from breathing properly. Doctors printed a custom-fabricate airway splint with the help of a polymer called polycaprolactone.
Whether it will be win-win again for Mercedes in Malaysia this weekend remains to be seen. They looked sluggish in practice on Friday, with Hamilton almost a second and a half off the pace set by Vettel before the afternoon session ended early following a crash involving Haas driver Romain Grosjean and a loose drain cover.
Wolff appears relaxed. He believes he has the fastest driver in the fastest car,http://users.atw.hu/miwa-cod4/index.php?site=forum_topic&topic=15055cheapjordanshoesfreeshipping.com/bolg,cheap retro jordans, with the perfect team mate (“The dynamic between Valtteri Bottas and Lewis is completely different to how it was with Nico [Rosberg]. You can see that they respect each other much more and there is a certain kind of feeling of satisfaction to the other one doing well,cheap real jordans,” he says).
As long as the team continues to give Hamilton the space he needs to breath – whether or not F1 fans like what he does with his freedom – Wolff believes will be rewarded for that faith. The Austrian has put all contract talks with Hamilton on hold until the winter, despite Hamilton’s current deal entering its final year shortly.
“We cannot predict how this weekend’s race will go,” Wolff says before dashing off to another meeting. “We just need to concentrate on getting the right set-up and not predict how we might go or not. [But] I think at the moment we are the team we need to be in order to win races and championships. And Lewis is the most competitive driver. We want him to stay a while. But we want to win the championship first and then open discussions because they can take a while.
“We don’t think it would be a good thing to do [to cloud his head with contract talks] right now,cheap jordans.” Just let him race.
