Technologies 3D are demonstrating enormous potential for innovation in the field of surgery,introducing the concept of "treatment customization" (from planning surgery to implant design and manufacturing) on the patient's anatomy, simply by taking advantage of the patient's own common diagnostic images and the flexibility of 3D printing. In fact, this new construction technology allows the construction of the complex anatomical geometries with economy, simplicity and on scales of production unattainable by other traditional technologies.

Patients will undergo TC/MRI as per routinary care. Custom 3D-devices will be printed on the basis of these images. The device will be used to establish pre-operative surgical options in terms of tissue/bones demolition/reconstruction.

Number of cases in which the time interval between prescription and delivery of the device exceeds 20 days
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Surgical time
Number of procedures in which the surgical outcome can be considered optimal (taking planning as a reference) by comparing CT images and evaluating the margins at final histologic analysis.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Device feasibility
Proportion of failed surgeries due to a positive or contaminated finding of the margin of bone resection on final histological examination. verified by comparing the expected outcome (i.e., planning output) and the actual outcome (on the postoperative CT scan).
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
