New 3-dimensional implant application as an alternative to allograft in limb salvage surgery: a technical note on 10 cases

摘要

Recently, there have been attempts to reconstruct bone defects using 3-dimensional (3D)-printed implants (Imanishi and Choong 2015, Wong et al. 2015, Liang et al. 2017, Wei et al. 2017, Park et al. 2018a, 2018b, Angelini et al. 2019). A 3D-printed, titanium alloy implant with an appropriate pore structure is biocompatible and personalizable in terms of the surgical location and extent (Wu et al. 2013, Guyer et al. 2016, Lee et al. 2016, Mumith et al. 2017, Li et al. 2018, McGilvray et al. 2018, Park et al. 2020).
