Abstract
Extensive chest wall defects occur in 28% of all sternal resection cases and are a major challenge in thoracic surgery. These cases are generally considered "critical defects" requiring primary or secondary reconstruction using various types of flaps, mesh repairs, bone autografts, or endoprosthesis. The past decade witnessed rapid advances in the application of personalized endoprostheses in thoracic surgery. Surgeons began to use carbon or titanium grafts for personalized sternum replacement. The main advantages of these implants are superior cosmetic effect, biocompatibility, and low risk of infection. Herein, we present a case of a 55-year-old patient with an indication for extended sternum resection due to metastatic thyroid cancer. The patient underwent extended sternum resection, followed by the implantation of a personalized microporous titanium sternum equipped with graspers for atraumatic rib fixation.
