Customized Titanium Implant for Chest Wall Reconstruction in Complex Poland Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
SUMMARY This report describes a new method for the surgical repair of the chest wall deformity encountered in complex Poland's syndrome. In this report, we describe the use of a customized titanium implant that was used to replace the missing second through fifth ribs and to provide chest wall stabilization before breast reconstruction. This approach might be considered an alternative to autologous rib grafting in patients who have reached skeletal maturity. It avoids the morbidity and risk associated with rib grafts and improves chest wall symmetry.
