  • Title: Implantation of a 3D-printed titanium sternum in a patient with a sternal tumor.
    Author: Dzian A, Živčák J, Penciak R, Hudák R.
    Journal: World J Surg Oncol; 2018 Jan 15; 16(1):7. PubMed ID: 29334989.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Primary malignant or metastatic sternal tumors are uncommon. A subtotal or total sternectomy can offer a radical form of treatment. The issue is to restore the structural integrity of the chest wall. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the implantation of an individualized 3D-printed titanium sternum in a patient with a sternal tumor. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that tridimensional print technologies may also change the strategy of chest wall reconstruction.
