Özet

© 2021, Chartered Inst. of Building Services Engineers. All rights reserved.In this study, it was aimed to obtain 3-dimensional (3D) digital and printed models of healthy forelimb joints using micro-computed tomography (µCT) technique in New Zealand Rabbit, which is frequently preferred in experimental orthopedic studies. Moreover, it was aimed to provide morphometric measurements on the shoulder and elbow joints over 3D digital models. A total of 14 adults (7 female, 7 male) New Zealand Rabbits were used in the study. After imaging the forelimbs with the µCT device, 3D digital and printed models were obtained. Biometric measurements of shoulder and elbow joints were performed over 3D digital models and the data obtained from female and male rabbits were evaluated statistically. The anatomical structure on the 3D joint models was very detailed due to the low section thickness and high detector quality. 3D printed models produced as a result of the 3D printing process were quite durable, odorless, and clean. No anatomical differences were observed between 3D printed models and 3D digital models. In this study, it is thought that the anatomical and morphometric data obtained from laboratory rabbits will contribute to scientists take part both in experimental orthopedic intervention and clinical anatomy education.
