Endoprosthesis replacement of the sternum handle in G1 chondrosarcoma: clinical case

BACKGROUND: Malignant neoplasms with lesions of the chest are quite rare in the sternum and range from 0.5 to 3.1% of the total number of patients with bone tumors of all localizations. In this connection, there are few publications describing the tactics of surgical treatment and methods of prosthetics of the formed defect. The present article describes a clinical case of successful application of an individual prosthesis of the manubrium of the sternum in G1 chondrosarcoma. 
CLINICAL CASE DESCRIPTION: to present a clinical observation of the surgical treatment of an 18-year-old patient with G1 chondrosarcoma of the manubrium of the sternum, with individual prosthetics. 
CONCLUSION: The use of modern 3D technologies based on the results of CT modeling allows, not only to plan the volume of necessary bone resection, but also to manufacture high-tech prostheses by using 3D printing to replace the defect with planning sufficient support capacity and function.
