Biomechanical characterization of custom-made dynamic implants fabricated by Electron Beam Melting for anterior chest wall reconstruction
Large thoracic defects need to be reconstructed to restore inner organs protection and normal ventilation. Early rigid implants have provided the stabilization of the ribcage; however, those have been associated with breathing restrictions. The evolution of additive manufacturing has enabled the pro...
