Summary
This study introduces a 3D-printed talus-calcaneus prosthesis for reconstructing rare talus tumors. The novel prosthesis demonstrated favorable functional outcomes and good bone integration, offering a promising alternative to amputation.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Oncology
- Biomedical Engineering
- Surgical Reconstruction
Background:
- Malignant talus tumors are rare and challenging to reconstruct.
- Traditional treatments like amputation or fusion lead to significant functional loss.
- Reconstruction of the talus and calcaneus is crucial for preserving ankle function.
