Abstract:

The chest wall defect, which result from congenital malformation, dysplasia, trauma, primary or secondary tumor, will destroy the integrity and stability of the thorax and seriously threaten the life quality and health of patients. Therefore, reconstruction of the chest wall is necessary. With optimization of 3D printing technology and breakthroughs in materials science, joint reconstruction of sternum, rib, chest rib and other clinical work can be accomplished by 3D printing, thus repairing the outward appearance and function of the thorax. This review focuses on the current advances of 3D printing technology in chest wall reconstruction.

Key words: Research, Thoracic wall, Reconstruction, 3D printing, Material
