In this case the tumor is close to the joint, but the joint itself isn’t infected. Saving the joint was important. To prevent removing the entire joint, Dr. Solomon Dadia worked with us to design a 3D customized printed implant, in an effort to preserve the joint, and thereby allow a better outcome for the patient, from a quality of life perspective.
While planning the surgery, we used Materialise software to create a virtual model and help the physician to precisely identify the cutting surfaces. Given this was a lower limb, the implant had to designed to be weight bearing allowing the patient to stand, walk and carry on with normal daily activities.
