75% Of Skull Replaced With 3-D Printed Implant

Man Has 75% Of Skull Replaced With 3-D Printed Implant by Salvador Rodriguez.  The Los Angeles Times.  March 8, 2013.

This was the first time a patient received an implant made specifically for him using 3-D printing technology.  The Food and Drug Administration approved the technology only last month.  The firm that makes the implant estimates that up to 500 people per month could use the implants.
