OBJECTIVE: This study aims to biomimetic design a new 3D-printed lattice hemipelvis prosthesis and evaluate its clinical efficiency for pelvic reconstruction following tumor resection, focusing on feasibility, osseointegration, and patient outcomes. METHODS: From May 2020 to October 2021, twelve patients with pelvic tumors underwent tumor resection and subsequently received 3D-printed lattice hemipelvis prostheses for pelvic reconstruction. The prosthesis was strategically incorporated with lattice structures and solid to optimize mechanical performance and osseointegration...
