Abstract：
Regardless of the species, birds are exposed to injuries that lead to amputation of part of the body structure and often euthanasia. Based on the need for new technologies that improve the quality of life of birds with locomotor problems, the present case reports aimed to describe the development of custom-made three-dimensional (3D) prostheses for domestic and wild birds that suffered amputation or malformation of the hind limb. Using the measurements of the bird, a digital model was created for 3D printing using fused deposition modeling technology (FDM) by the Brazilian company 3D Medicine. In this study we report the use of 3D prosthesis for the rehabilitation of three birds with locomotor disorders in Brazil, the animals adapted to the custom-made prosthesis with an improvement in quality of life, better distribution of body weight, locomotion, and landing. This study describes the development of 3D prostheses for birds in Brazil, the first report of this technology for these species, and the pioneering development of socket prostheses for small birds. 3D prostheses offer a high-efficiency solution to improve the quality of life of animals with amputations and malformations of the hind limbs. In addition, 3D technology provides valuable tools for veterinary medicine, developing custom-made models for the most different anatomical demands of animal patients.
摘要：
不管是什么物种,鸟类受到伤害，导致身体结构的一部分截肢，并经常安乐死。基于对改善有运动问题的鸟类生活质量的新技术的需求，本案例报告旨在描述为遭受截肢或后肢畸形的家禽和野生鸟类定制的三维（3D）假体的开发。利用鸟的测量结果，巴西公司3DMedicine使用熔融沉积建模技术（FDM）创建了用于3D打印的数字模型。在这项研究中，我们报告了在巴西使用3D假体修复三只患有运动障碍的鸟类，这些动物适应了定制的假肢，提高了生活质量，更好的体重分布，运动，和着陆。这项研究描述了巴西鸟类3D假体的发展，这些物种的这项技术的第一份报告，以及小型鸟类接受腔假体的开创性发展。3D假体提供了一种高效的解决方案，可以改善截肢和后肢畸形动物的生活质量。此外,3D技术为兽医学提供了宝贵的工具，为动物患者最不同的解剖学需求开发定制模型。
