Large Segmental Bone Defect
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators apply 3D printed titanium implant to treat bone defects. Without using bone grafts and growth factors, the investigators anticipate the titanium implant alone can help bone reconstruction.
Detailed description
The investigators treat large segmental bone defects caused by three reasons, including trauma, infection and tumor. In this study, polyporous 3D printed titanium implant is applied to reconstruct the bone defects and the investigators will follow up patients' function and bone regeneration.
Interventions
The 3D printed titanium implant is fabricated by related companies. And some implants have been used in spinal disease in our hospital.
