- Abstract
The clinical incidence of tumors in the manubrium is not high. Regardless of whether the tumor is primary or metastatic, the tumor should be completely removed as long as the patient is able to tolerate the surgery. This procedure can lead to sternal defects. Deciding on the method of defect reconstruction is a critical problem that clinicians face. In this , to reduce the limitations of the patient’s upper body movement after surgery due to the inflexibility in the connections of the sternal prosthesis, we created a prosthesis using a computer‐assisted design method and a 3‐D technique, to completely preserve the agility of the sternum and maximize the patient’s post‐operational movement. The method used in the present study takes into consideration the individual’s chest anatomy, sternum stress, and many other biological characteristics. Care is taken to measure the sternum size accurately, to provide personalized treatment, to accomplish precise results, and to reduce potential future damage. The patient’s shoulder function was improved following the procedure.
