Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Corrective osteotomy is a surgical procedure to correct bone deformities.
  • Traditional methods can have limitations in precision and accuracy.
  • Patient-specific instrumentation can potentially improve surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel technique for corrective osteotomy using 3D printed patient-specific guides.
  • To evaluate the potential of this technique in improving surgical accuracy.
  • To highlight its application in treating limb malunions.

Main Methods:

  • Pre-operative bilateral computed tomography (CT) scans for digital planning.
  • Creation and application of 3D printed patient-specific guides for precise K-wire placement, drilling, and osteotomy.
  • Surgical execution involving guide application, osteotomy, bone reduction (direct or indirect), and fixation with plating osteosynthesis.

Main Results:

  • The use of 3D printed guides allows for precise localization of surgical landmarks.
  • Patient-specific fit of the guide enhances the accuracy of the osteotomy and subsequent bone reduction.
  • The technique facilitates accurate bone fragment alignment and fixation.

Conclusions:

  • 3D printed patient-specific guides offer a powerful tool for precise corrective osteotomies.
  • This technique shows promise in the treatment of malunion for both articular and nonarticular limb fractures.
  • Further evaluation of the technique's limitations and benefits is warranted.
