A new, portable ruler simplifies precise rotational osteotomy, overcoming the inconvenience of a lengthy numeric table. This orthopedic tool offers comparable accuracy for surgical planning and execution.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Surgical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Rotational osteotomy is a standard orthopedic procedure.
  • Existing numeric table methods for precise rotational osteotomy are cumbersome (4 pages).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a more convenient and precise method for rotational osteotomy.
  • To simplify the application of existing numeric data for surgical planning.

Main Methods:

  • Summarized a four-page numeric table into a portable ruler.
  • Developed an electrical version of the ruler.
  • Utilized a computer model to verify the method.

Main Results:

  • The developed ruler demonstrated high precision, with differences less than 0.1 mm compared to the original method.

  • Verified the accuracy of the ruler against Cobeljić et al.'s method, which had an error range of -37% to 16%.

    • Conclusions:

    • The new ruler is practical for rotational osteotomy, offering convenience without sacrificing precision.
    • Further clinical studies are recommended to confirm the significance of this new surgical tool.
