The use of three-dimensional printed implants in the field of orthopedic surgery has become increasingly popular and has potentiated hip reconstruction in the setting of oncologic resections of the pelvis and acetabulum. In this review, we examine and discuss the indications and technical considerations for custom implant reconstruction of pelvic defects.
