Summary

This trial will study the effectiveness of using 3D printed models in planning surgeries to remove tumors from bones in the body. The study will last for about a year and involve 150 participants from three

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with certain bone-related tumors, including Fibrous Histiocytoma and Osteosarcoma. Participants should be suitable candidates for surgery to remove their tumor. The study excludes specific details on who can't join.
What is being tested?
The study compares the use of 3D printed models plus imaging versus imaging alone (like CT/MRI scans) in planning surgeries to remove bone tumors. It aims to see if 3D models can shorten surgery time and improve other outcomes like blood loss and surgical satisfaction.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on pre-operative planning methods rather than medications, it does not directly involve drug side effects. However, there may be risks associated with the surgical procedures themselves.

Active Control
Group I: 3D Printed Anatomic ModelExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants in this arm will have tumors excised with prior planning utilizing 3D printed models and Imaging (CT or MRI).
Group II: Standard ImagingActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in this arm will undergo tumor excision with prior planning utilizing only Imaging (CT or MRI) without development of a 3D printed model
