Fluoroscopically Calibrated 3D-Printed Tools Increase Osteotomy Precision During Tumor Resection Near Joints
30. 10. 2024 Source: proLékaře.czThe area around the knee is a common site for malignant bone tumors, such as osteosarcomas. Their removal typically involves R0 resection, which is the complete removal of tumor tissue.
