3D printed personalized titanium plates improve clinical outcome in microwave ablation of bone tumors around the knee

Abstract Microwave ablation has been widely accepted in treating bone tumor. However, its procedure is time-consuming and usually results in postoperative fractures. To solve this problem, we designed and fabricated titanium plates customized to the patients’ bone structures. The personalized titani...
