Abstract: The repair of critical diaphyseal defects of lower weight-bearing limbs is an intractable problem in clinical practice. From December 2017, we prospectively applied 3D printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffolds to reconstruct this kind of bone defect. All patients experienced a two-stage surgical process, including thorough debridement and scaffold implantation. With an average follow-up of 23.0 months, ten patients with 11 parts of bone defects were enrolled in this study. The case series included three females and seven males, their defect reasons included seven parts of osteomyelitis and four parts of aseptic nonunion. The bone defects located at femur (five parts) and tibia (six parts), with an average defect distance of 12.2 cm. Serial postoperative radiologic follow-ups displayed a continuous process of new bone growing and remodeling around the scaffold. One patient suffered tibial varus deformity, and he underwent a revision surgery. The other nine patients achieved scaffold stability. No scaffold breakage occurred. In conclusion, the implantation of 3D printed Ti6Al4V scaffold was feasible and effective to reconstruct critical bone defects of lower limbs without additional bone grafting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
