LRS designed and manufactured a custom cage for a complex subtalar fusion. The cage was designed using the patient's CT data, and then 3D printed in Ti6Al4V. The struts of the cage have a rough surface finish to enhance osseointegration. Before implantation, the cage was filled with a bone-substitute. The cage allowed for varus-valgus correction and maintaining of the joint height. #lrsimplants #limbsalvage #3dprinting #customimplants #orthopaedics #patientspecific #custo
