Chinese Woman Gets First 3D Printed Titanium Sternum
The medical world continues to advance with the help of 3D printing. Late last month, the first 3d printed titanium sternum was implanted into a 54-year-old woman in China. The surgery was the first of its kind and ultimately it will help the woman live a more normal life. Instead of being left with a huge gap in her check, she now has a 3D printed sternum which is designed to mimic her original one. The original needed to be removed because of a large tumor that had grown onto it. Read and see more on this story at: http://3dprint.com/79908/3d-printed-sternum-implant/
