    3D printing has significant potential in orthopedics, particularly for complex acetabular fracture surgeries requiring rapid model availability.

  • 2

    The study aims to establish a semiautomatic method for creating printable acetabular fracture models from CT data within 24 hours.

  • 3

    Key benefits of 3D printed models include improved understanding of fractures, enhanced surgical planning, and reduced intraoperative plate bending.

  • 4

    Current literature lacks detailed methodologies for efficient in-house 3D printing of acetabular fracture models, hindering routine clinical use.

  • 5

    The proposed method focuses on optimizing time, cost, and clinical outcomes, including operation time and blood loss, for acetabular fracture treatment.
