A titanium custom made chest wall implant could be a viable alternative for patients who had large chest wall tumors. From our experience, we conclude that the patient specific titanium implant may be used safely and effectively. It is additively manufactured by one of the new technologies that can allow thoracic surgeons to perform a wide anterior chest wall resection including of the sternum.
Despite the fact that the used custom made titanium implant is novel and has not been used previously, the use of other types of titanium implants has been proved to be safe and effective.
