Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • A 39-year-old male presented with severe hand deformity due to childhood trauma, complicated by a Marjolin ulcer and squamous cell carcinoma.
  • The patient required surgical intervention to correct significant ulnar deviation of the hand.

Observation:

  • A laser lithography-based solid model of the bony framework was created using 3D CT data.
  • This model facilitated detailed pre-operative planning and simulation of the surgical procedure.
  • The patient and surgical team gained precise insights into the complex hand deformity.

Findings:

  • A two-stage, wedge-shaped ostectomy at the distal radius successfully realigned the hand's ulnar deviation from approximately 100 to 30 degrees.
  • The patient reported high satisfaction with the functional and aesthetic outcomes post-surgery.

Implications:

  • Laser lithography solid models offer valuable pre-operative planning tools for complex orthopedic deformities.
  • Limitations include high cost, material hardness, and lack of soft tissue representation.
  • Future models incorporating soft tissues (vessels, nerves, tendons) could enhance surgical simulation accuracy and intraoperative guidance.
