Background: Musculoskeletal abnormalities are estimated to be 21.1% of all birth defects, if left untreated such defects represent high morbidity in patients. Advances biomedical technologies as prosthetics and 3D printing can further improve treatment orthopedics enhance patient’s quality life. The aim this paper is review the literature search state art related musculoskeletal defects.Methods: A comprehensive was performed indexed databases. Keywords included: orthopedics,”, “3d printing”, “congenital”, “malformations”, “defects” “treatment”. total 29 articles were suitable for subject matter included review.Results Discussion: allows a better surgical planning orthopedic field it used guide or creating custom 3D-printed tools, devices, patient-specific prostheses, implants. Also, complex limb malformations modeled, printed accurately understand, study, plan approach. Scaffold bio-ink bioprinters also capable developing bone cartilage pediatric remodeling. Conclusion: an important innovative subject, make approaches supply structural function original malformed tissue.
