ABSTRACT

Objective: To investigate the application of individual digital resection plate in the treatment of bone tumor. Methods: Twenty-three patients with bone tumor by spiral CT scanner and MRI. The data was reconstructed by 3D imaging reconstruction workstation. The operation was simulated and the individual resection plate was designed on the virtual 3D model according to the surgical procedure. With the rapid prototyping technology, the individual resection plate was produced to guide the reduction of the bone tumor. Results: The average follow-up times were 48 months. No local recurrence, endoprostheses infection, loosening and fracture happened. Average scoring was 21 points according to Enneking system. Conclusion: Individual digital reduction plate is helpful in accurate reduction of bone tumor and can also save the operation time.
