Abstract

"Poland Syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by deformities affecting soft and skeletal tissues of thorax and ipsilateral upper limb. Psychophysical integrity, especially for young people, is influenced by early diagnosis and an effective therapeutic strategy. Reconstructive surgery is the gold standard treatment and developing custom-made implants could dramatically change the outcomes for those patients."
