Personalized reconstruction of large chest wall defect with rapid prototype prosthetic rib: early result and long-term patient outcomes in three cases
نویسنده
چکیده
Background/Introduction The innovation from merging computed tomography (CT) measurement data to rapid prototyping, that now allow the production of solid copies of the patient’s bones, has presented thoracic surgeons with new opportunities in large chest wall reconstruction. Since 2010, our department applied this technique to prepare rapid prototype prosthetic ribs (RPPRs) which were customized for each patient.
