En Bloc Resection of Primary Malignant Bone Tumor in the Cervical Spine Based on 3‐Dimensional Printing Technology

ConclusionThough technically challenging, it is feasible and safe to perform en bloc resection of cervical primary bone tumors. This is the most effective means of managing cervical spine tumors. Preoperative 3‐D printing modelling enables better anatomical understanding of the relationship between the tumor and cervical spine and can assist in planning the surgical procedure.
