摘要

This invention is an implant and method for reconstruction of a pelvic region. The implant including: (a) a main surface portion (1) for connecting a first and second portion of the pelvic region; (b) at least one end surface (3) connected to the main surface; (c) at least one bending zone (13-15) for changing the orientation of the at least one end surface relative to the main surface; and (d) at least one cantilever element (10) connected to the at least one end surface. According to a second embodiment the implant further includes an acetabular cup prosthesis, and additionally includes a method of (a) resecting a pelvic bone; (b) shaping a flexible template to connect selected remaining portions of the pelvic bone; (c) shaping a pelvic implant according to the template by a bending tool means; and (d) connecting said implant to the selected remaining portion of the pelvic bone.
