Abstract

Introduction: It is hoped that 3D printing will achieve a revolution in medical devices in general and orthopedic devices in particular. Three-dimensional printing has the potential to move both the innovation and manufacture of orthopedic devices closer to the hospitals, surgeons, and patients who are the consumers of these devices. Whether this potential of decentralization in production and innovation will actually occur depends, in large part, on the regulatory environment that is evolving.
