3D printing significantly improved MSTS scores by 2.17, enhancing postoperative function in orthopedic oncology.
Blood loss was reduced by 69.8 mL in the 3D printing group, indicating a potential for improved surgical precision.
The study involved 478 patients from 14 studies, employing a random-effects model to address statistical heterogeneity.
While the findings are promising, significant heterogeneity necessitates cautious interpretation of the results.
