With the developing of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, it is widely used in the treatment of bone tumors in the clinical orthopedics. Because of the great individual differences in the location of bone tumor, resection and reconstruction are difficult. Based on 3D printing technology, the 3D models can be prepared to show the anatomical part of the disease, so that the surgeons can create a patient-specific operational plans based on better understand the local conditions. At the same time, preoperative simulation can also be carried out for complex operations and patient-specific prostheses can be further designed and prepared according to the location and size of tumor, which may have more advantages in adaptability. In this paper, the domestic and international research progress of 3D printing technology in the treatment of limb bone tumors in recent years were reviewed and summarized.
