Abstract
We report a case of successful sternum and ribs/cartilage resection and chest wall reconstruction with a methacrylate implant produced using a three-dimensional model in a patient with a tuberculotic mass in this region. Clinical and radiologic follow-up 2 years after surgery showed excellent cosmetic and functional outcome.Entities:
