A pioneering hospital group of 3D printed implants that change life

Vinmec Healthcare System, one of the main private hospitals groups in Vietnam, is transforming bone cancer care with personalized 3D printed implants, offering new hope to patients previously faced with amputation or disability for life.

In a first world, Tran Minh Duc, eight years old, received a fully printed in 3DFemur in titanium adaptive to growth after receiving a diagnosis of aggressive osteosarcoma. Several hospitals have recommended amputation. Instead, Vinmec offered a two -step solution using CT -based design and modular implant technology.

According to the medical literature in the American National Library of MedicineThere was no recorded cases of femoral implants fully printed in 3D and specific to the patient used in children. This makes Tran Minh Duke the youngest patient in the world to receive a growing adaptive titanium femur made entirely thanks to 3D printing.

Today, Duke walks without help, his member and his child preserved.

“Surgery represented a breakthrough in complex techniques and testified to a strong collaboration within the multidisciplinary medical team”, Professor Tran Trung Dung, director of the orthopedic council, Vinmec Healthcare System, said in a statement.

A similar approach helped seen Dinh Tuy, 25, whose advanced sarcoma had damaged the femur and the basin. Instead of withdrawing entire joint systems as in traditional surgeries, wine doctors have kept key tendons and load structures. This allowed Tuy to make its first steps only two days after the operation.

This personalized approach guided by precision also provided transformer results for middle age patients.

For Do Phuc Hoan, 48, decades of hip deformation from untreated dysplasia had resulted in a serious handicap, Type IV Crowe. After repeated refusals, he turned to Vinmec. The surgeons have implemented a tailor -made hip prosthesis with an anatomical precision of 98%, allowing it to walk in a week.

These surgeries have done more than prolonging survival, they brought back movement, autonomy and hope. Where traditional methods have failed, 3D printing has paved the way for personalized care that changes life.

Vietnam 3D health care revolution

Vinmec is the main health care provider of Vietnam in the application of 3D printing specific to the patient to musculoskeletal surgery. Using MRI and CT data, the hospital designs personalized implants and surgical guides that improve joint function and speed recovery, often at a cost lower than imported alternatives. Vinmec has also become the second hospital in the world to join the prestigious connected network of the Cleveland Clinic.

At the national level, this innovation accelerates. According to Expert market studyThe 3D printed medical devices market in Vietnam should triple by 2034, reaching 142.8 million USD.

Supporting this trend, Vietnam 3D Technology in Medicine Association has recently been launched to connect clinicians, engineers and industry partners.

“The creation of the association is essential to connect resources and create a flourishing ecosystem for the development of 3D technology in the Vietnam health care sector.”Professor Tran Trung Dung stressed the importance of collaboration between the sector in medical innovation.

Commenting on the material side, Dr. Huan Dau, CEO of Vinnotek – one of the main 3D metal printing companies in the country, added: “Collaboration is essential. By building regional supply chains and uniting scientific organizations, we can reduce costs and improve access to rescue technology.”

From pediatric oncology to complex orthopedic care, Vinmec has not only transformed care, but it positions Vietnam as an increasing force in global health care.
