Reconstruyen el cráneo de una joven gracias a una impresora 3D

Un grupo de expertos consiguió reconstruir el cráneo a joven modelo británica, de 27 años, con una impresora 3D. Francesca Burr sufrió un accidente que provocó que cayera por las escaleras y se fracturase el cráneo, la mandíbula y la nariz.Según relata el diario Daily Mirror, sus padres la encontraron sobre un enorme charco de sangre que procedía de la nariz, las orejas y los ojos. De hecho, en el hospital le pidieron que se prepararan para lo peor y le indujeron un coma para que no sufriera.Tras un mes en coma, al recuperar la consciencia la joven no reconoció a su novio, no recordaba su segundo nombre y pensaba que sus padres seguían juntos. También sufría daños físicos: "Después de la operación parecía un dibujo animado, porque mi cara estaba muy hinchada", ha contado Chelsea. "Lo único que quedaba era un agujero masivo en mi cabeza", detalló Francesa según publica A3.Durante el coma, los médicos le sacaron varios huesos rotos de su cerebro, a partir de los cuales utilizaron una impresora 3D para crear una placa de titanio a medida para remplazar los trozos de su cráneo dañado. "Parece algo hecho por el CSI", declaró la exmodelo, que relata que sus padres descubrieron que algo raro ocurría cuando no pudieron abrir a la puerta y escucharon al perro ladrar todo el rato. <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYWSfznjE0x/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">My life and body changed on 18th November after I had a seizure at the top of my stairs and fractured my skull in 5 places damaging my brain and breaking a lot of bones. NH-YES! • These photos are unapologetic (and unflattering ????) but please don&#39;t look if you get grossed out by medical images; they&#39;re vivid details of my progress and I know they&#39;re pretty gross! No offence will be taken! • A couple of weeks ago I met with my neurosurgeon at Addenbrookes in Cambridge where I was flown by the Air Ambulance in a helicopter after being placed in an induced coma for just short of a month. I&#39;ve been given the go-ahead to fly most neurological progress is exceptional! As we saw the videos and pictures, the surgeon said to my mama and I &#39;This is a rare thing to survive. I&#39;m very happy to see you walk in the door, to be speaking and moving…&#39; at which point our hearts melted ??? • The first video is a short clip detailing the most severe skull fracture which caused most of the brain trauma I suffered and am recovering from. The second image is an x-ray and the darker parts of this particular segment show where the haemorrhage affected that part of my brain and caused severe brain injury. • The next image is me with my angel of a mother and shows how I looked once my neurosurgeon removed a large portion of my skull to try and alleviate pressure and all of the blood which was swelling across my brain. I was without that part of my skull until last couple of days in January this year when it was replaced with a titanium plate (&#39;cranioplasty&#39;) which was made using a 3D printer to fit my skull perfectly. How bloody cool is that?! #RoboBurr • The next few images show my development since the metal plate operation, including 67 metal staples and a badass Viking half skinhead! My wonderful friends CJ and Lexi came to visit me as a surprise and Bert was obviously in love with them too!!! ? • The last image was me a couple of weeks ago and apparently I&#39;m a moody cow haha but now that I&#39;ve survived such a dangerous &amp; unfortunate circumstance thanks to our health care institution and with the love and support of incredible friends &amp; family ??? I LOVE YOU xXx @nhsmillion</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">Una publicación compartida por francescaburr (@francescaburr) el 28 de Ago de 2017 a la(s) 11:54 PDT</p>
