Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Anatomy

Background:

  • Current external fixators for distraction osteogenesis (DO) have limitations in correcting complex lower limb deformities.
  • The absence of pre-surgical planning systems complicates the use of existing DO devices.
  • Bulky, multi-joint constructs (6DOF) are conventionally required for 3D deformity correction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an integrated DO system comprising a surgical planner and a novel unilateral fixator.
  • To enable correction of all lower limb deformities and generation of contralateral/predefined bone shape.
  • To simplify the setup and application of external fixators for DO procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized axis-angle representation for a compact 2-joint fixator design, replacing conventional 6DOF constructs.
  • Employed computer-aided design (CAD) software and computational methods for surgical planning and simulation.
  • Performed stress analysis to compare fixator stiffness with existing commercial devices (Orthofix unilateral external fixator).

Main Results:

  • The proposed compact fixator (2DOF) achieved 3D deformity correction capabilities.
  • Stress analysis indicated comparable stiffness to the Orthofix unilateral external fixator.
  • Simulation on a deformed tibia model showed a bone trajectory deviation of 1.8mm, below the 2mm error threshold.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed DO system, integrating a planner and a compact unilateral fixator, offers a viable solution for complex lower limb deformities.
  • The system's design based on axis-angle representation simplifies the construct while maintaining corrective capabilities.
  • The validated accuracy and comparable stiffness suggest clinical potential for improved DO treatment.
