A novel revision system for complex pelvic defects utilizing 3D-printed custom prosthesis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Thus far, the hip revision surgery has been widely used and promoted, and the technology has been constantly innovated, such as tissue engineering, 3D printing prosthesis, etc. However, traditional standardized prosthesis, allograft, autograft, bone cement and reinforcing ring are still the main treatment methods in the mainstream pelvic defects classification systems for hip revision. In addition, the mainstream classification systems are still mainly focus on the peri-acetabulum, but less on the large-scale complex pelvic defects that widely affecting the regions far away from the acetabulum, which also have a significant impact on the holistic biomechanical properties of pelvis.

Methods

After integrating the design experience of custom prostheses and the unders
