Custom-made dynamic 3-dimensional−printed prostheses for chest wall reconstruction: A multicenter study
Dynamic 3D-customized prostheses provide a structurally stable yet flexible alternative to conventional rigid implants for chest wall reconstruction. Their spring-like geometry allows anatomical adaptation and facilitates intraoperative placement, contributing to safe and reproducible reconstruction in selected cases, with favorable medium-term outcomes. This multicenter experience suggests they may be a feasible and safe option in anatomically complex or functionally demanding thoracic reconstructions.
