Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Paediatric Orthopaedics

Background:

  • Computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS) has evolved significantly since the 1990s.
  • Current applications of CAOS include transpedicular screw fixation and total knee arthroplasty.
  • Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) is a CAOS technique utilizing volumetric imaging data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe potential applications of PSI in paediatric orthopaedics.
  • To illustrate the utility of PSI in complex paediatric cases.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing volumetric imaging (CT/MRI) to create patient-specific surgical guides.
  • Applying PSI for corrective osteotomies, bone resections, and reconstructions.

Main Results:

  • PSI enables precise correction of conditions like cubitus varus through complex osteotomies.
  • PSI facilitates accurate resection of tarsal coalition.
  • PSI aids in both tumour resection and subsequent allograft reconstruction.

Conclusions:

  • PSI, derived from CT scans, improves peri-operative accuracy and reduces surgical duration in paediatric orthopaedics.
  • PSI offers significant benefits to surgeons, with potential for future development and broader applications.
