Computer-aided design-rapid prototyping (CAD-RP) enhances posterior modified wedge osteotomy for severe thoracic deformities. This personalized approach improves surgical accuracy and safety, leading to significant deformity correction.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Spinal Deformity Correction
Medical Engineering

Background:

Severe thoracic deformities present significant surgical challenges.
Conventional imaging modalities often lack the precision needed for complex spinal surgeries.
The need for advanced techniques to improve accuracy and safety in correcting these deformities is critical.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the procedure and outcomes of posterior modified wedge osteotomy for thoracic deformities.
To evaluate the utility of computer-aided design-rapid prototyping (CAD-RP) in this surgical context.
To assess the impact of CAD-RP on surgical safety, accuracy, and patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

Twenty-one patients with thoracic deformities underwent computed tomography (CT) scanning.

Patient-specific models of thoracic deformities and navigation templates were created using CAD-RP.

Personalized posterior modified wedge osteotomy, combining eggshell technique and posterior vertebral column resection, was performed using these models.

Main Results:

CAD-RP improved the safety and accuracy of surgery and pedicle screw placement.
Significant deformity correction was achieved: 56.3% in the coronal plane and 60.4% in the sagittal plane.
The procedure demonstrated a favorable safety profile with no serious complications or implant failures.

Conclusions:

Personalized single-stage posterior modified wedge osteotomy is an effective treatment for thoracic deformities.
The integration of CAD-RP and rapid prototyping models offers substantial benefits for personalized surgical management of complex spinal deformities.
This approach enhances precision and safety in correcting severe thoracic deformities.
