Although treatment of bone tumors is multidisciplinary, the complete surgical resection of bone tumors remains the mainstay of the treatment. Patient-specific instruments (PSI) are personalized tools, which help the surgeon to perform tumor resections accurately. The aim of this study is to evaluate how precise the planned resection can be intraoperatively executed with the use of PSI.
