Despite major developments in the field of
orthopaedic reconstruction of pelvic bone
defects after pelvic tumour resection, massive pelvic bone loss with bone defect and
pelvic discontinuity, still remains a complex problem. Resection of big musculoskeletal sarcomas of the pelvis and the later
reconstruction of the residual defect constitutes one of the more exigent challenges of
orthopaedic surgery.
The authors present a method for reconstruction with a personalized prosthesis by
mean of a rapid prototype specially designed for each occasion. The authors describe
this individually prefabricated prosthesis
based on rapid prototyíng technique with a
computer-assisted design in a 3D printing
based version.
The results obtained are presented and
commented.
