3D Printed Titanium Sternum and Ribcage Implanted in Patient
A Patient in Spain suffering from chest wall sarcoma received a 3D Printed replacement Sternum and ribcage*after*many of the natural bones were surgically *******. The Titanium implant was designed by*Anatomics, a Melbourne, Australia firm, specifically for the unique anatomical needs of this particular patient. The company used CT scans of the Patient and worked with his surgeons to create a 3D reconstruction of his anatomy and virtually build the implant before printing it in preparation for the surgery.The procedure was performed at the*Salamanca University Hospital on the 54 year-old Patient who was discharged less than two weeks later and is reportedly recovering well. Here’s a short video report about this achievement: Source: CSIRO… (hat tip: Gizmodo) The post 3D Printed Titanium Sternum and Ribcage Implanted in Patient appeared first on Medgadget. ??????? ??????: 3D Printed Titanium Sternum and Ribcage Implanted in Patient || ??????: rss || ??????: اسم منتداك
