RESUMO
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is a reality in medicine. In Orthopedics and Traumatology, 3D printing guides a precise and tailored surgical treatment. Understanding and disseminating its applicability, use, and outcomes can foster academicism and improve patient care. This is a report of a rare case of a female young adult patient with osteonecrosis of the humeral head due to avascular necrosis developed in early childhood. The treatment was tailored and optimized with 3D printing, which helped determine the steps for partial humeral arthroplasty.
