French woman suffering from gunshot wound receives 3D printed reverse shoulder prosthesis

One lucky patient in France has become one of the first to sport a 3D printed shoulder implant following an almost deadly accident. Nathalie Dufaut Danjon was shot with a hunting rifle a little over two years ago, a near-fatal accident that saw a bullet penetrate her shoulder joint through the front, and exit through the back of her shoulder blade. Needless to say, Danjon’s shoulder anatomy was completely destroyed.
