A team of surgeons in the UK have reportedly managed to reconstruct a man's face by creating a duplicate version of his bone structure using 3D printing.

The patient named Stephen Power had been involved in a traumatic motorcycle accident, which broke his cheekbone, nose, jaw, and fractured his skull.

Surgeon Adrian Sugar described the results as "in a different league from anything we've done before." The operation is currently being featured in an exhibition at the Science Museum in London, called 3D Printing: The Future.
