As a promising manufacturing technology, three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is widely used in the medical field. In the treatment of osteoarticular defects, the emergence of 3D printing technology provides a new option for the reconstruction of functional articular surfaces. At present, 3D printing technology has been used in clinical applications such as models, patient-specific instruments (PSIs), and customized implants to treat joint defects caused by trauma, sports injury, and tumors. This review summarizes the application status of 3D printing technology in the treatment of osteoarticular defects and discusses its advantages, disadvantages, and possible future research strategies.
