Comments on 3D Printer Used To Make Transplant Jawbone
A permanent replacement was printed for reconstructive surgery. (Read
the complete story)
| "I should also mention that there are other efforts to do this same thing. Click on the links to learn more about each one.
For example, here's an effort at the University of Tokyo hospital.  (Artificial 3D inkjet printed bone structure) Here's another method that actually uses your own cells and bases it on the symmetrical bone structure (from the Insel Hospital in Berne, Switzerland).
 (Exact replica of bone now possible) " |
| "In "Hominids" by Robert J. Sawyer one of the main characters, Ponter Boddit (a high tech Neanderthal from an alternate universe) is at first thought to be a hoax because of a reconstructed jaw similar to this." (Erik Glenn 2/8/2012 11:54:39 AM) |
| "Erik - I have a couple of items from that novel; see the page for Hominids. But I'll have to look harder for that reference in the book..." (Bill Christensen 2/8/2012 5:06:44 PM) |
| "Aha! Here's the relevant bit from Hominids: '...these were real x-rays, and they were x-rays of a living head, not a fossil... there was something very strange about the lower jaw. Parts of it showed as a much lighter shade of gray in the x-ray, as if they were made of a less-dense material... "It's a fake," said Reubin, pointing to the anomalous part of the jaw. "I mean - he's a fake, he's had plastic surgery to make himself look Neanderthal."'" (Bill Christensen 2/8/2012 5:12:05 PM) |
