“…In the field of simulation and preoperative planning, for example, the realization of anatomical replicas shall achieve mechanical characteristics of the simulacra similar to those of the human tissues to allow a realistic simulation. Therefore, bone tissue is usually reproduced with plastic materials such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) or Polylactic Acid (PLA) exploiting FDM technologies (Carfagni et al , 2019; Leng et al , 2019; Gaspar Pérez et al , 2021; Martinez et al , 2021). Instead, soft tissues require rubber-like materials.…”

“…The short time, low cost, and extreme accuracy of replicas AM technologies offer are the main advantages that explain the introduction of simulation and planning as a standard for the preparation of some surgeries. Wei et al (2010), Zhao et al (2014), Zhong et al (2014), Matsuo et al (2018), Tse et al (2018), Wang et al (2020), Martinez et al (2021) exploited preoperative simulation to plan the PE correction surgery. In Wei et al (2010), Zhong et al (2014), Tse et al (2018), digital 3D models of the patient-specific anatomies were used to study the optimal geometry of the bar and the aesthetic outcome of the surgery, exploiting also finite element method tools.…”

Purpose Among thoracic malformations, pectus deformities have the highest incidence and can result in a wide range of severe and mild clinical manifestations. Recently, the treatment of pectus deformities is shifting from traditional approaches toward customized solutions. This occurs by leveraging innovative rapid prototyping tools that allow for the design and fabrication of patient-specific treatments and medical devices. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive view of the growing literature in this area to analyze the progress made in this direction. Design/methodology/approach The search was performed on major search engines through keywords inherent to reverse engineering (RE) and additive manufacturing (AM) technologies applied to pectus deformities and related treatments, selecting 54 papers. These were analyzed according to the addressed pathology, the hardware and software tools used and/or implemented and their integration within the clinical pathway. Findings First, the analysis led to analyze and divide the papers according to how RE and AM technologies are applied for surgical and non-surgical treatments, pathological assessment and preoperative simulation and planning. Second, all papers were considered within the typical rapid prototyping framework consisting of the three phases of three-dimensional (3D) scanning, 3D modelling and 3D printing. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, to date, no survey has provided a comprehensive view of innovative and personalized treatment strategies for thoracic malformations; the present work fills this gap, allowing researchers in this field to have access to the most promising findings on the treatment and evaluation of pathology.

“…In 2021, Martinez et al published seven cases with complex chest wall deformities approached with a process using 3D technology between 2015 and 2020 ( 19 ). Diagnosis included isolated Poland syndrome (n=1), pectus arcuatum (n=2), Poland syndrome associated with pectus arcuatum (n=3), and carinated deformity with complex sternal malformation (n=1).…”
