Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • 3D Printing Technology

Background:

  • Feline shoulder arthrodesis literature is scarce.
  • Accurate humeroscapular alignment is crucial for successful outcomes.
  • Patient-specific guides (PSG) offer potential for enhanced surgical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of 3D-printed patient-specific guides (PSG) in feline shoulder arthrodesis.
  • To assess the feasibility, accuracy, and outcomes of PSG in four feline cases.
  • To address the limited existing literature on this specific surgical technique in cats.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of four feline cases undergoing shoulder arthrodesis with PSG.
  • Utilized Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for surgical planning.
  • Employed 3D-printed guides for precise osteotomies and implant placement.
  • Conducted radiographic assessments, re-examinations, and owner-reported outcome evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Successfully treated four feline cases with diverse shoulder pathologies using PSG.
  • Demonstrated positive outcomes in limb function and patient activity post-surgery.
  • Radiographic evaluations confirmed accurate humeroscapular alignment.
  • Long-term follow-ups indicated favorable results.

Conclusions:

  • 3D-printed patient-specific guides (PSG) significantly enhance precision in feline shoulder arthrodesis.
  • The technique shows clinical significance in achieving optimal humeroscapular alignment.
  • Positive outcomes suggest PSG can improve surgical results for various feline shoulder pathologies.
