LRS CiS - Custom Subtalar Fusion Cage
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

LRS CiS - Innovative Solution for the Sacrum
LRS designed and manufactured an innovative custom solution to assist a surgeon with a pathological fracture of the sacrum. The case involved using the patient's CT data to design 2 custom plates to fit onto the left and right ilium of the patient. These plates were then connected by a threaded rod, to ensure sufficient compression and stability of the Sacro-Iliac Joints. The plates were 3D printed in Ti6Al4V, incorporating a trabecular mesh, to ensure good bone in-growth.
