The team of engineers imported and segmented the patient’s CT scan in Mimics to reconstruct the defect and analyze the pre-operative situation.īased on anatomical templates, surgical planning was made directly on the patient’s anatomy. Professor Rydholm from Skane University Hospital in Lund contacted Materialise subsidiary Mobelife to design a custom acetabular implant. Her doctors initially saw very limited or no treatment options and she was looking at a lifetime in a wheelchair. The neurofibroma destroying her pelvis was surgically removed, but after a femur fracture her situation worsened, forcing her to be home educated for the next two years. The 15-year old Swedish girl was suffering from Von Recklinghausen’s disease, a congenital disease causing a severe skeletal deformation of the left hip. Reconstructing the Pelvis Deformation in Mimics With the 3D-printed Mobelife aMace® implant andvirtual planning in Materialise’s Mimics and 3-matic software,she is now pain-free, walking without crutches. A Swedish girl was facing a lifetime in a wheelchair because of a congenital disease leaving her with a severely deformedleft hip.
