When a tumor invades the ilium, the real challenge isn't whether to operate it's knowing exactly where to cut. A case study with Dr. Garrigue at CHU Reims.

For this scapular spine tumor case, two surgical strategies were evaluated with the surgeon: a standard posterior approach or a more demanding superoposterior access preserving more bone. Through close dialogue between surgical judgment and engineering constraints, the final plan balanced oncological safety, guide stability, and long-term function for the patient.

From CT scan to cranial reconstruction, discover how patient-specific planning and medical 3D printing enable surgeons to create a PMMA cranial implant directly in the operating room using the 3D-Skull mold.

3D-Side has manufactured and delivered patient-specific surgical instruments for Catalyst OrthoScience’s Archer PSI system following FDA clearance. The devices are now being used in shoulder arthroplasty procedures as part of the system’s phased U.S. market launch.

First pelvic tumor resection performed in Chile using 3D-CUT. This case highlights how patient-specific planning and custom cutting guides supported a complex resection between the ilium and sacrum while helping preserve pelvic stability and nearby anatomical structures.

Customize reaches a new milestone with over 1,000 users. A growing community of surgeons using the platform to manage and plan their cases every day.

Case study of external tibial plateau reconstruction using patient-specific cutting guides and collaborative surgical planning. The approach supported controlled osteotomy and precise allograft reconstruction while respecting anatomical constraints.

Staged proximal femoral correction in fibrous dysplasia integrating 3D planning, patient-specific instrumentation, and guided intramedullary nail insertion to ensure alignment between deformity correction and fixation strategy.
