3D copying pelvis helps the patient walk normally again
Mr. Sun, 43 years old, just began to experience the pain and swelling of the lower abdomen in September last year. At the end of last year, he went to Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital for consultation. Professor Shao Zengwu, an expert in brain surgery in your hospital, found that Mr. Sun's pelvic malignant tumor was the same size as a badminton. Traditional surgical treatment required the removal of the iliac bone, phalange, ischia and affected limb body. The patient's ability to move and work was impaired for a long time.
Professor Shao decided to use the "semi pelvic nose prosthesis" replacement surgery, which can replace the artificial service pelvic nose prosthesis when the pelvic malignant tumor is removed to avoid high amputation, so that the patient can store, walk and sit.
However, the matching degree of this kind of nose prosthesis and the patient's pelvis will inevitably be different, and the installation is very difficult. To solve this difficulty, Professor Shao ordered a "self-propelled" titanium pelvis for Mr. Sun based on the 3D CT scanner of the patient's pelvis and the professional skills of 3D copying, and it was successfully replaced last week. It is estimated that everything can move normally next week.
Last Wednesday, Mr. Sun was successfully removed from the malignant tumor and replaced with a "self-propelled" pelvis. Today, he recovers well after surgery, and can walk on the ground after seven days of rest.
Professor Shao explained that the pelvis, like the face, is also very unique and symmetrical. If the hip joints on both sides of the pelvis are not the same from top to bottom, they can "stand without posture, walk without posture" and even suffer from dislocation.
The 3D copying professional skills can quickly "copy" a solid model that is exactly the same as the patient's pelvis on the same side, and design a special self nose prosthesis that is completely consistent with the patient's pelvis on the same side, which can also save surgical treatment time, reduce intraoperative bleeding, and then improve the patient's daily quality and the service life of the nose prosthesis.
