Abstract

Wide resection is currently considered the mainstay treatment for primary bone tumors. When the tumor is located in anatomically complex segments, 3D-Printed Titanium Custom-Made Prostheses (3DPTCMP) are possible reconstructive solutions. The aim of the present paper is to analyze indications, results and complications of a series of 14 patients who underwent pelvis reconstruction with 3DPTCMP after tumor removal from January 2015 to December 2019. Chondrosarcoma was the main histology; indications were tumors located in the acetabular area without enough residual bone to support a cup with an iliac stem, and tumors located near the sacrum-iliac joint. The margins were wide in 12 cases, and marginal and intralesional in one case each. In three cases, resection also included the sacrum-iliac joint, so a spine stabilization was performed and linked to the pelvic prosthesis; The average MSTS score was 46.3%; the 5-year local recurrence-free survival was 85.7%. Wound dehiscences were the main complication, resolved with multiple debridements; nevertheless, prosthesis removal was necessary in one case. Currently, the 3DPTCMP is an effective resource for reconstruction after resection of tumors located in the pelvis. Further studies are necessary to value long-term results; more strategies are necessary to try to reduce the infection rate and improve osteointegration.
