Titanium plate has been widely used in several surgical fields, such as craniofacial reconstruction and orthopedic prosthesis. This prosthesis has been proved not only with good biocompatibility and mechanical strength, but also with light weight and low radiological interference. From October 1991 to May 1995, 6 patients underwent thoracic cage reconstruction with titanium plate in our hospital. They included 5 females and 1 male, with ages ranging from 26 to 62 years. Four of them suffered from primary chest wall tumors (2 desmoid tumors, a chondrosarcoma, and 1 hemangioma), one had a recurrent chest wall tumor from breast carcinoma, and one had thoracic hypoplasia. The thoracic cage defect ranged from 5 x 6 cm to 10 x 15 cm, and 1 to 3 titanium plates were used for the reconstruction. No paradoxical movement or other prosthesis-related complications have occurred during the follow-up period. We conclude that titanium plate is a good material for thoracic cage reconstruction.
钛板已广泛应用于多个外科领域，如颅面重建和骨科假体。这种假体已被证明不仅具有良好的生物相容性和机械强度，而且重量轻、放射干扰小。1991年10月至1995年5月，我院6例患者接受了钛板胸廓重建术。其中女性5例，男性1例，年龄26至62岁。4例患有原发性胸壁肿瘤（2例硬纤维瘤、1例软骨肉瘤和1例血管瘤），1例为乳腺癌复发性胸壁肿瘤，1例为胸廓发育不全。胸廓缺损范围为5×6cm至10×15cm，重建时使用1至3块钛板。随访期间未出现反常运动或其他与假体相关的并发症。我们得出结论，钛板是胸廓重建的良好材料。
