Abstract

Reconstructing pelvic type II + III defect caused by bone tumors is challenging. The purpose of this study was to explore the in vitro biomechanical properties of a reconstructed pelvis after periacetabular resection using three-dimensional (3D) printed sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fixed modular hemipelvic endoprosthesis. Type II/II + III pelvic resection was simulated on an artificial pelvic model. The bilateral acetabulum and pubis were constrained, and the pelvis was maintained in a human physiological standing position. A vertically continuous linear load was applied on the upper face of S1 until obvious unloading or fixed failure occurred. A noncontact optical 3D strain measuring system was used to measure the strains and displacements at the selected area. The strain at the points of interest did not obviously differ between the intact and reconstructed pelvis models. The difference in the displacement on the reconstructed side was 0.237 mm, and that on the contralateral side was 0.245 mm. The maximum differences in the displacement at the acetabulum were 0.209 mm (vertical) and 0.324 mm (horizontal). A crack at the superior rim of the contralateral acetabulum occurred, and failure loading of 7.126 kN. The prosthesis in this st...Continue Reading
