Abstract

PURPOSE: Bone tumours must be surgically excised in one piece with a margin of healthy tissue. The unique nature of each bone tumour case is well suited to the use of patient-specific implants, with additive manufacturing allowing production of highly complex geometries. This work represents the first assessment of the combination of surgical robotics and patient-specific additively manufactured implants.
