The Gregorio Marañón Hospital fits the world's first personalized metamaterial bone prosthesis so that Pierre can walk again

The Gregorio Marañón General University Hospital in Madrid has designed, manufactured, and successfully implanted the world's first personalized bone prosthesis made from metamaterials. The procedure was performed by the hospital's oncological surgery team on a 38-year-old patient diagnosed with a bone sarcoma.

Metamaterials, typically utilized in aerospace technology, were adapted for this medical application to create a custom-fitted structure. This innovation represents a significant advancement in reconstructive surgery, establishing a new technological precedent for future patient care.
