(A) Resection plan of the tumor and ribs, (B) Scheme of the in-suit reconstruction, (C) generation of the body part of the rib prosthesis through centroid trajectory, (D) load and boundary of the FEA model of the rib and prosthesis, (E) the von Mises stress of the rib prosthesis, (F) the von Mises stress of the corresponding natural rib, (G) mechanical testing of the 3D-printed rib prosthesis, (H) the deformation pattern during of the bending test, and (I) the deformation of the in-suit rib prosthesis at different sagittal displacement (left) and a comparison of the relative displacement between experimental and FEA results.
