Paciente con cáncer óseo recibe implante de media pelvis impreso en 3D en una cirugía histórica

Valoración

A bone-cancer patient has received a 3D-printed half-pelvic implant in a landmark surgery. Dr. Israel Weiss, head of the Orthopedic Oncology Unit at Clalit-Schneider and Clalit-Beilinson Hospitals, called it one of the most complex and challenging cases his team has encountered. The procedure tests whether custom-printed implants can replace damaged pelvic bone where standard prosthetics fall short. Watch for updates on recovery and whether the technique spreads.
