Rapid prototyping technology is very useful in cases of complex cases which require reconstruction. Digital data acquired during C.T. scan is fed into Rapid Prototyping System, which generates the bone model depicting the pathology. This model is used to plan the surgical strategy. This way the errors during the surgery are minimized.
