“…Advances in 3D printing technology revolutionized the surgical approach to large bone defects in musculoskeletal oncology and revision surgery; this technology allows reconstruction of wide areas after bone resection tailored to the patient, as an alternative to large allograft or modular prostheses, ensuring a better anatomical fit with much more stability and strength in body weight bearing, due to biomechanical properties of porous titanium [ 12 , 15 , 16 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ]. For example, for specific skeletal segments, such as scapula, clavicle and pelvic bones, there are not any modular prostheses available and reconstruction with massive bone grafting is associated with several disadvantages, including the risk of mismatch, immune rejection, fracture and infection [ 25 ].…”
