Abstract

In this paper, we describe the design and surgical process of personalised pelvic prostheses fixation  through 3D printing according to different Enneking pelvic tumour zones: the ilium (Zone I), acetabulum (Zone  II), and pubis and ischium (Zone III). A 3D model of the pelvis was reconstructed using imaging data, and the  parameters on the planes of the acetabulum and pelvic incisal margin were measured. The main body of the pelvic  prosthesis was constructed, a porous structure was designed on the bone-prosthesis interface, and the movement  paths, lengths, and diameters of screws were planned. By combining the pathological model and osteotomy guide,  limb salvage reconstruction was performed in patients with pelvic tumours. Preoperative and postoperative data  were compared to verify the prosthesis stability. Our investigation revealed that the long-term survival of pelvic  reconstruction prostheses depends on accurate matching with the bone defect area, good initial stability, and a  porous structure to allow bone ingrowth.
