Popis: The use of three-dimensional (3D)-printed custom-made implants is spreading in the orthopedics field for the reconstruction of bone losses or for joint replacement, thanks to their unparalleled versatility. In particular, this novel technology opens new perspectives to formulate custom-made fixation strategies for the upper cervical region, sacrum and pelvis, where reconstruction is challenging. We report and analyze the literature concerning upper cervical reconstruction with 3D-printed personalized implants after tumor surgery, and discuss two cases of patients where this technology was used to reconstruct the anterior column after extracapsular debulking of C2 recurrent chordoma at our institution.
