Cai J, Ma M, Zeng W, Luo S, Yuan F, Yin F. Computed tomography-based patient-specific cutting guides used for positioning of the femoral component of implants during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a cadaver study. BMC Surg 2023; 23:381. [PMID: 38114969 PMCID: PMC10729329 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-023-02272-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate whether patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) improves the femoral component positioning of implants during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) using cadaver bone models. METHODS Fifty adult cadaveric femoral bone specimens collected from February 2016-2018, were randomized to receive medial UKA with a PSI guide (n = 25) or conventional instrumentation (CI) (n = 25). Standard anteroposterior and lateral view radiographs were obtained postoperatively to assess the coronal and sagittal positioning of the femoral prostheses, respectively. The osteotomy time was recorded to assess the convenience of PSI in guiding osteotomy. RESULTS Osteotomy time significantly shortened in the PSI group (3.12 ± 0.65 versus 4.33 ± 0.73 min, p < 0.001). There was a significant difference in the postoperative coronal alignment of the femoral component between the PSI and CI groups (varus/valgus angle: 1.43 ± 0.93° vs. 2.65 ± 1.50°, p = 0.001). The prevalence of outliers in coronal alignment was lower in the PSI than the CI group (2/25, 8% vs. 9/25, 36%). Sagittal posterior slope angle of the femoral component was significantly different between the two groups (8.80 ± 0.65° and 6.29 ± 1.88° in the CI and PSI groups, respectively, p < 0.001). The malalignment rate of the femoral component in the sagittal plane was 60% in the CI group, whereas no positioning deviation was observed in the PSI group. CONCLUSION This study used a cadaver model to support the fact that CT-based PSI shows an advantage over CI in optimizing implant positioning for UKAs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incorporation of a three-dimensional (3D) framework enables the surgeon to strategically plan their surgical intervention through the utilisation of the printed model. This encompasses the process of ascertaining the surgical approach, choosing the suitable reduction technique, finding the required implant dimensions, defining the ideal placement and alignment of the implant, and conducting a simulated practise of the procedure using a 3D printed duplicate of the anatomical structures. Therefore, we designed this study to evaluate the role of two imaging modalities (computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) for pre-surgical planning for orthopaedic surgeries. METHODOLOGY The present investigation entailed a prospective analysis of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) that were performed using patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) from 2019 to 2022. After performing the bone resection operation utilising a customised cutting jig specific to each patient, the exact thickness of the resected bone was evaluated using a vernier calliper. In the MRI group, the researchers directly compared the cutting thickness during surgery with the consistency planned before the operation. In contrast, the CT group added the presumed cartilage thickness (2 mm) to the actual thickness of the bone that was removed from the lateral condyles. RESULTS The planned incision thickness in the distal femoral was 8.5 ± 0.8 in the CT group and 8.9 ± 0.5 in the MRI group, while the actual incision thickness was reported as 9.8 ± 0.54 in CT and 8.3 ± 1.1; however, no significant mean difference was found between both groups. The planned incision thickness was 2.6 ± 1.1 in the CT group and 2.43 ± 1.66 in the MRI group, while the actual thickness was observed as 2.5 ± 0.6 and 2.88 ± 1.12 without significant difference (p = 0.86). CONCLUSION While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the visualisation of cartilage, it has been observed that the MRI-based patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) system does not exhibit superior accuracy in projecting bone incision thickness compared to the computed tomography (CT)-based PSI system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This systematic review aims to ascertain how accurately 3D models can be predicted from two-dimensional (2D) imaging utilising statistical shape modelling. METHODS A systematic search of published literature was conducted in September 2022. All papers which assessed the accuracy of 3D models predicted from 2D imaging utilising statistical shape models and which validated the models against the ground truth were eligible. RESULTS 2127 papers were screened and a total of 34 studies were included for final data extraction. The best overall achievable accuracy was 0.45 mm (root mean square error) and 0.16 mm (average error). CONCLUSION Statistical shape modelling can predict detailed 3D anatomical models from minimal 2D imaging. Future studies should report the intended application domain of the model, the level of accuracy required, the underlying demographics of subjects, and the method in which accuracy was calculated, with root mean square error recommended if appropriate.

Abstract
Knowledge of anterior-posterior (AP) movement of the femoral condyles on the tibia in healthy knees serves to assess whether an artificial knee restores natural movement. Two methods for identifying AP positions and hence condylar movements include: 1) the flexion facet center (FFC), and 2) the lowest point (LP) methods. The objectives were to determine 1) agreement between the two methods, and 2) whether addition of articular cartilage and/or smoothing significantly affects AP positions. MR images of healthy knees were obtained from eleven subjects, who performed a deep knee bend under fluoroscopy. Four different MR models of the distal femur were created: femur bone, smoothed femur bone, femur bone with cartilage, and femur bone with smoothed cartilage. In the medial and lateral compartments for the femur bone with smoothed cartilage at 0 degrees flexion, mean AP positions of the LPs were 7.7 mm and 5.4 mm more anterior than those of the FFCs, respectively (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0002) and limits of agreement were plus/minus 5.5 mm. At 30 - 90 degrees flexion, the difference in mean AP positions was 1.5 mm or less and limits of agreement were plus/minus 2.4 mm. Differences in mean AP positions between model types were less than 1.3 mm for LPs and FFCs. Since adding cartilage to 3D bone models is not required to accurately determine AP positions, faster and less expensive imaging techniques such as CT can be used to generate 3D bone models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restoration of the anatomical joint line, while important for clinical outcomes, is difficult to achieve in revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) due to distal femoral bone loss. The objective of this study was to determine a reliable method of restoring the anatomical joint line and posterior condylar offset in the setting of rTKA based on three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) images of the distal femur. METHODS CT scans of 50 lower limbs were analyzed. Key anatomical landmarks such as the medial epicondyle (ME), lateral epicondyle, and transepicondylar width (TEW) were determined on 3D models constructed from the CT images. Best-fit planes placed on the most distal and posterior loci of points on the femoral condyles were used to define the distal and posterior joint lines, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the relationships between the anatomical landmarks and the distal and posterior joint lines. RESULTS There was a strong correlation between the distance from the ME to the distal joint line of the medial condyle (MEDC) and the distance from the ME to the posterior joint line of the medial condyle (MEPC) (p < 0.001; r = 0.865). The mean ratio of MEPC to MEDC was 1.06 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.07; range: 0.88-1.27) and that of MEPC to TEW was 0.33 (SD: 0.03; range: 0.25-0.38). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the fixed ratios of MEPC to TEW (0.33) and that of MEPC to MEDC (1.06) provide a reliable means for the surgeon to determine the anatomical joint line when used in combination.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Versus Computed Tomography for Three-Dimensional Bone Imaging of Musculoskeletal Pathologies: A Review. J Magn Reson Imaging 2022; 56:11-34.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly utilized as a radiation‐free alternative to computed tomography (CT) for the diagnosis and treatment planning of musculoskeletal pathologies. MR imaging of hard tissues such as cortical bone remains challenging due to their low proton density and short transverse relaxation times, rendering bone tissues as nonspecific low signal structures on MR images obtained from most sequences. Developments in MR image acquisition and post‐processing have opened the path for enhanced MR‐based bone visualization aiming to provide a CT‐like contrast and, as such, ease clinical interpretation. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of studies comparing MR and CT imaging for diagnostic and treatment planning purposes in orthopedic care, with a special focus on selective bone visualization, bone segmentation, and three‐dimensional (3D) modeling. This review discusses conventional gradient‐echo derived techniques as well as dedicated short echo time acquisition techniques and post‐processing techniques, including the generation of synthetic CT, in the context of 3D and specific bone visualization. Based on the reviewed literature, it may be concluded that the recent developments in MRI‐based bone visualization are promising. MRI alone provides valuable information on both bone and soft tissues for a broad range of applications including diagnostics, 3D modeling, and treatment planning in multiple anatomical regions, including the skull, spine, shoulder, pelvis, and long bones.

Abstract
Primary bone sarcomas are rare tumors and surgical resection in combination with chemo and radiation therapy is the mainstay of treatment. Some specific anatomical sites still represent a reconstructive challenge due to their complex three-dimensional anatomy. In recent years, patient specific instruments along with 3D printing technology has come to represent innovative techniques in orthopaedic oncology. We retrospectively reviewed 23 patients affected by primary bone sarcoma treated with patient-specific instruments and 3D printing custom made prostheses. At follow up after approximately two years, the infection rate was 26%, mechanical complication rate 13%, and local recurrence rate 13% (with a five-years implant survival rate of 74%). Based on our experience, patient-specific instruments and 3D custom-made prostheses represents a reliable and safe technique for improving the accuracy of resection of primary bone tumour, with a particular use in pelvic surgery ameliorating functional results.

Abstract
Advancements in imaging and segmentation techniques mean that three dimensional (3D) modeling of bones is now increasingly used for preoperative planning and registration purposes. Computer tomography (CT) scans are commonly used due to their high bone-soft tissue contrast, however they expose subjects to radiation. Alternatively, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is radiation-free: however, geometric field distortion and poor bone contrast have been reported to degrade bone model validity compared to CT. The present study assessed the accuracy of 3D femur and tibia models created from "Black Bone" 3T MRI and high resolution CT scans taken from 12 intact cadaveric lower limbs by comparing them with scans of the de-fleshed and cleaned bones carried out using a high-resolution portable compact desktop 3D scanner (Model HDI COMPACT C210; Polyga). This scanner used structured light (SL) to capture 3D scans with an accuracy of up to 35 μm. Image segmentation created 3D models and for each bone the corresponding CT and MRI models were aligned with the SL model using the iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm and the differences between models calculated. Hausdorff distance was also determined. Compared to SL scans, the CT models had an ICP error of 0.82 ± 0.2 and 0.85 ± 0.2 mm for the tibia and femur respectively, whilst the MRI models had an error of 0.97 ± 0.2 and 0.98 ± 0.18 mm. A one-way analysis of variance found no significant difference in the Hausdorff distances or ICP values between the three scanning methods (p > .05). The black bone MRI method can provide accurate geometric measures of the femur and tibia that are comparable to those achieved with CT. Given the lack of ionizing radiation this has significant benefits for clinical populations and also potential for application in research settings.

Abstract
To compare the angle between the external rotation references of the femoral components in the axial plane by gender and lower limb alignment in Korean patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Magnetic resonance (MR) images of 1273 patients were imported into a modeling software and segmented to develop three-dimensional femoral bony and cartilaginous models. The surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA), posterior condylar axis (PCA), the kinematically aligned axis (KAA), and anteroposterior axis were used as rotational references in the axial plane for mechanically aligned (MA) TKA. The relationship among axes were investigated. Among 1273 patients, 942 were female and 331 were male. According to lower limb alignment, the varus and valgus knee groups comprised 848 and 425 patients, respectively. All measurements, except PCA-sTEA, differed significantly between men and women; all measurements, except PCA-sTEA, did not differ significantly between the varus and valgus knee groups. In elderly Korean patients with OA, rotational alignment of the distal femur showed gender differences, but no differences were seen according to lower limb alignment. The concern for malrotation of femoral components during kinematically aligned TKA is less in Koreans than in Caucasians and relatively less in women than in men. In MA TKA, malrotation of the femoral components can be avoided by setting different rotational alignments for the genders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We propose a robust and accurate knee joint modelling method with bone and cartilage structures to enable accurate surgical guidance for knee surgery. METHODS A multimodality registration strategy is proposed to fuse magnetic resonance (MR) and computed tomography (CT) images of the femur and tibia separately to remove spatial inconsistency caused by knee bending in CT/MR scans. Automatic segmentation of the femur, tibia and cartilages is carried out with region of interest clustering and intensity analysis based on the multimodal fusion of images. RESULTS Experimental results show that the registration error is 1.13 ± 0.30 mm. The Dice similarity coefficient values of the proposed segmentation method of the femur, tibia, femoral and tibial cartilages are 0.969, 0.966, 0.910 and 0.872, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of multimodality-based registration and segmentation methods for knee joint modelling. The proposed method can provide users with 3D anatomical models of the femur, tibia, and cartilages with few human inputs.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers great design freedom that enables objects with desired unique and complex geometry and topology to be readily and cost-effectively fabricated. The overall benefits of AM are well known, such as increased material and resource efficiency, enhanced design and production flexibility, the ability to create porous structures and on-demand manufacturing. When AM is applied to medical devices, these benefits are naturally assumed. However, hard clinical evidence collected from clinical trials and studies seems to be lacking and, as a result, systematic assessment is yet difficult. In the present work, we have reviewed 23 studies on the clinical use of AM patient-specific surgical guides (PSGs) for the mandible surgeries (n = 17) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) patient-specific implants (PSIs) (n = 6) with respect to expected clinical outcomes. It is concluded that the data published on these AM medical devices are often lacking in comprehensive evaluation of clinical outcomes. A complete set of clinical data, including those on time management, costs, clinical outcomes, range of motion, accuracy of the placement with respect to the pre-operative planning, and extra complications, as well as manufacturing data are needed to demonstrate the real benefits gained from applying AM to these medical devices and to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discuss the feasibility and accuracy of distal femoral patient-specific cutting guide in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on knee CT and full-length X-ray film of lower extremities. METHODS Between July 2016 and February 2017, 20 patients with severe knee joint osteoarthritis planned to undergo primary TKA were selected as the research object. There were 9 males and 11 females; aged 53-84 years, with an average of 69.4 years. The body mass index was 22.1-31.0 kg/m 2, with an average of 24.8 kg/m 2. The preoperative range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint was (103.0±19.4)°, the pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score was 5.4±1.3, and the American Hospital of Special Surgery (HSS) score was 58.1±11.3. Before operation, a three-dimensional model of the knee joint was constructed based on the full-length X-ray film of lower extremities and CT of the knee joint. The distal femoral patient-specific cutting guide was designed and fabricated, and the thickness of the distal femoral osteotomy was determined by digital simulation. The thickness of the internal and external condyle of the distal femur osteotomy before operation and the actual thickness of the intraoperative osteotomy were compared. The intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage loss, and hidden blood loss were recorded. The ROM of knee joint, VAS score, and HSS score at 3 months after operation were recorded to evaluate effectiveness. The position of the coronal and sagittal plane of the distal femoral prosthesis were assessed by comparing the femoral mechanical-anatomical angle (FMAA), anatomical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA), mechanical femoral tibial angle (mFTA), distal femoral flexion angle (DFFA), femoral prosthesis flexion angle (FPFA), anatomical lateral femoral component angle (aLFC), and the angle of the femoral component and femoral shaft (α angle) between pre- and post-operation. RESULTS TKA was successfully completed with the aid of the distal femoral patient-specific cutting guide. There was no significant difference between the thickness of the internal and lateral condyle of the distal femur osteotomy before operation and the actual thickness of the intraoperative osteotomy ( P>0.05). All patients were followed up 3 months. All incisions healed by first intention, and there was no complications such as periarticular infection and deep vein thrombosis. Except for 1 patient who was not treated with tranexamic acid, the intraoperative blood loss of the rest 19 patients ranged from 30 to 150 mL, with an average of 73.2 mL; the postoperative drainage loss ranged from 20 to 500 mL, with an average of 154.5 mL; and the hidden blood loss ranged from 169.2 to 1 400.0 mL, with an average of 643.8 mL. At 3 months after operation, the ROM of the knee was (111.5±11.5)°, and there was no significant difference when compared with the preoperative one ( t=-1.962, P=0.065). The VAS score was 2.4±0.9 and HSS score was 88.2±7.5, showing significant differences when compared with the preoperative ones ( t=7.248, P=0.000; t=-11.442, P=0.000). Compared with the preoperative measurements, there was a significant difference in mFTA ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in aLDFA, FMAA, or DFFA; compared with the preoperative plan, there was no significant difference in FPFA, aLFC, or α angle ( P>0.05). CONCLUSION The use of distal femoral patient-specific cutting guide based on knee CT and full-length X-ray film of lower extremity can achieve precise osteotomy, improve coronal and sagittal limb alignment, reduce intraoperative blood loss, and obtain satisfactory short-term effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study will examine the differences between human lumbar vertebrae, three-dimensional (3D) scans of these bones, 3D models based on 'Black-bone' magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, and 3D-printed models. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3D mesh models were created from the "Black-bone" MRI data from two cadaveric human spines, and then 3D printed. Four models were analysed and compared: anatomic bones, 3D-scanned models, MRI models and 3D-printed models. RESULTS There was no significant difference between when comparing the average of all measurements between all model types (p = 0.81). The mean dice coefficient was 0.91 (SD 0.016) and the mean Hausdorff distance was 0.37 mm (SD 0.04 mm) when comparing the MRI model to the 3D-scanned model. The mean volumes for the MRI model and the 3D scanned model were 10.42 and 10.04 ml (p = 0.085), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The 'Black-bone' MRI could be a valid radiation-free alternative to computed tomography for the 3D printing of lumbar spinal biomodels.

Abstract
To evaluate the accuracy of 3D models of the aortic-root generated from non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Data were retrospectively collected from 30 consecutive patients who underwent surgical aortic valve replacement and had available records of both intra-operative assessment and pre-surgery annulus assessment by cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) and CMR. The 3D models were independently segmented, modelled and printed by two blinded "manufacturers". The measurements on the models were carried out by two cardiac surgeons with Hegar dilator. Data were analyzed with non-parametric tests. There was no significant intra- or inter-observer variability (p ≥ 0.13). The agreement between the diameter of the 3D model derived from CMR images and either the anatomical reference of the intraoperative measurement (p = 0.10, r = 0.97) or the radiological reference of the 3D model generated from CCT (p = 0.71, r = 0.92) was very good. The process of segmentation plus the post-processing was about 17 ± 2 min for a model created by CMR, significantly higher than a model created from CCT (7 ± 2 min; p < 0.001). The printing time for a single model did not differ between the two modalities (p = 0.61) and was less than 60 min. The cost for a single model was approximately 0.5 €. 3D models generated from non-contrast CMR performed well when compared to the anatomical reference standard and are comparable to the pair CCT derived models.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been introduced into total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to improve accuracy in restoration of alignment. PSI in TKA refers to custom-made cutting jigs manufactured according to anatomic configuration of the patient’s bone based on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. The purpose of this study was to compare the MRI- or CT-based PSI to see if they could reproduce accurate bone resection and postoperative outcomes.
Methods
Seventy-one patients who received elective TKA using a PSI system for primary osteoarthritis with varus deformity were prospectively enrolled for this study. We randomly allocated those patients to MRI-based PSI group (36 patients) and CT-based PSI group (35 patients). The actual resection thickness and planned resection thickness by preoperative PSI electronic program were compared between the two groups. Radiographic findings of the postoperative limb alignment, three-dimensional position of the implants, and related complications were also evaluated. Clinical evaluation was also performed before and 2 years after the surgery.
Results
There were no significant differences in the resection thickness in femur and tibia between actual resection and planned resection in both groups. Furthermore, there were no significant differences between two groups in terms of coronal, sagittal and rotational alignment of the components. All clinical assessments revealed no differences between two groups 2 years after the operation. No specific complication related to PSI was observed.
Conclusions
Although MRI allows for visualization of cartilage, MRI-based PSI system did not show better accuracy in predicting the thickness of bone resection than CT-based PSI. Moreover, there were no differences in radiographic and clinical outcomes between the two groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial meniscal extrusion (MME) is an important marker of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) progression. The purposes of this study were: 1) to determine whether there are morphological differences between CT- and MRI-derived tibial plateau models; and 2) to determine whether measurement of MME volume and width using an MRI-derived tibial model is as accurate as measurements on a CT-derived tibial model. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that enrolled ten participants with medial KOA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 1 to 3). Primary outcome was surface difference of the medial tibial plateau between CT- and MRI-derived models. Furthermore, volume and cross-sectional area of the medial tibial plateau were compared between CT- and MRI-derived models. Measurements of MME volume and width were compared between CT- and MRI-derived tibial models. RESULTS Minimal and maximal surface differences of the medial tibial plateau between the CT- and MRI-derived models were - 0.15 [- 0.44, 0.14] mm (mean [95% confidence interval]) and 0.24 [- 0.09, 0.57] mm, respectively. There were no significant differences in volume and cross-sectional area of the medial tibial plateau between CT- and MRI-derived tibial models. The MME volumes measured on CT- and MRI-derived models were 942.6 [597.7, 1287.6] mm3 and 916.2 [557.9, 1274.6] mm3, respectively (p = 0.938). The MME widths measured on CT- and MRI-derived models were 4.2 [1.9, 6.5] mm and 4.5 [2.2, 6.9] mm, respectively (p = 0.967). CONCLUSIONS CT- and MRI-derived models of the medial tibial plateau did not show significant morphological differences. Both CT- and MRI-derived tibia can be used as a reference to measure MME in early-to-moderate medial KOA.

Abstract
The main purpose of this investigation was to systematically review the literature regarding case studies on patient-specific implants and devices, with the goal of analyzing the process of developing custom-made medical devices. A content analysis was performed to identify design processes and methodologies implemented to develop devices such as implants adapted to bone geometries. Reverse engineering, computer-aided design, simulation of assets, and rapid prototyping technologies were selected according to their interoperability in a process framework for developing new products. Finally, results from the case studies and process stages identified in the consulted research were analyzed. These results showed a relationship between the scope and complexity of the process and the stage of technology integration of the patient-specific device development. The analyzed case studies were characterized by technical, scientific, and multidisciplinary components to achieve research goals. Likewise, integration of technologies using patient-specific technologies is needed for product development that converges into designing devices, such as implants, biomodels, and cutting drilling guides.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate if there is a difference in the time that the surgery is prolonged to implant a knee prosthesis according to the instrumentation system used. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective analysis of the duration of 243 interventions (skin-to-skin time and ischemia time) performed by the same surgeon. Seventy-two cases operated with conventional instruments (IC), 68 by means of computer assisted surgery (CAS) and 103 with personalized instrumentation system (PSI). RESULTS IC skin-to-skin time 87,85 min (SD 11,86). IC ischemia time 94,44 min (SD 11,49). Computer assisted surgery skin-to-skin time 123,46 min (SD 11,27). Computer assisted surgery ischemia time 129,63 min (SD 11,37). PSI skin-to-skin time 78,69 min (SD 13,06). PSI ischemia time 84,63 min (SD 12,06). There is a significant difference between PSI and the other instrumentation systems (p 0,000). CONCLUSIONS In our study, the time consumption for the implantation of a knee prosthesis has been significantly lower when cutting blocks have been used, than when we have used other systems.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. During the past decade, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been commercially introduced in order to simplify and make TKA surgery more effective, precise and efficient than conventional mechanical instrumentation (CI) and computer-assisted surgery (CAS). Nevertheless, there are critical arguments against PSI for routine use. The aim of the current manuscript is to describe advantages and limitations of PSI for primary TKA. AREAS COVERED By means of a description of the available literature different aspects are discussed (accuracy, clinical and functional outcomes, operative time, blood loss, efficiency and costs). EXPERT OPINION Most publications do not claim a significant increase in PSI accuracy over CI, but they also do not postulate PSIs accuracy is worse either. Regarding clinical aspects, PSI did not appear to give any advantage over standard techniques although, equally, it did not appear to show any disadvantages. PSI seems to reduce operative time, could reduce perioperative blood loss and provides logistical benefits in the operation room. Further studies will be required to more thoroughly assess all the advantages and disadvantages of this promising technology as an alternative to CI and CAS.

Abstract
Patient-specific implant design and pre- and intra-operative planning is becoming increasingly important in the orthopaedic field. For clinical feasibility of these techniques, fast and accurate segmentation of bone structures from MRI is essential. However, manual segmentation is time intensive and subject to inter- and intra-observer variation. The challenge in developing automatic segmentation algorithms for MRI data mainly exists in the inhomogeneity problem and the low contrast among cortical bone and adjacent tissues. In this paper, we proposed a method for automatic segmentation of knee bone structures for MRI data with a 3D local intensity clustering-based level set and a novel approach to determine the cortical boundary utilizing the normal vector of the trabecular surface. Application to clinical imaging data shows that our method is robust to MRI inhomogeneity. In comparing our method to manual segmentation in 18 femurs and tibiae, we found a dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.9611 ± 0.0052 for the femurs and 0.9591 ± 0.0173 for tibiae. The average surface distance error was 0.4649 ± 0.1430 mm for the femurs and 0.4712 ± 0.2113 mm for the tibiae. The results of the automatic technique thus strongly corresponded to the manual segmentation using less than 3% of the time and with virtually no workload. ᅟ ![]()

Abstract
PURPOSE Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may improve component sizing. Little has been reported about accuracy of the default plan created by the manufacturer, especially for CT-based PSI. The goal of this study was to evaluate the reliability of this plan and the impact of the surgeon's changes on the final accuracy of the guide sizes. METHODS Forty-five patients eligible for primary TKA were prospectively enrolled. The planned implant sizes were prospectively recorded from the initial manufacturer's proposal and from the final plan adjusted in light of the surgeon's evaluation; these two sizes where then compared to the actually implanted sizes. Fisher's exact test was used to test differences for categorical variables. Agreement between pre-operative plans and final implant was evaluated with the Bland-Altman method. RESULTS The manufacturer's proposal differed from the final implant in 9 (20.0%) femoral and 23 (51.1%) tibial components, while the surgeon's plan in 6 (13.3%, femoral) and 12 (26.7%, tibial). Modifications in the pre-operative plan were carried out for five (11.1%) femoral and 23 (51.1%) tibial components (p = 0.03). Appropriate modification occurred in 22 (88.0%) and 19 (76.0%) cases of femoral and tibial changes. The agreement between the manufacturer's and the surgeon's pre-operative plans was poor, especially with regard to tibial components. CONCLUSION The surgeon's accuracy in predicting the final component size was significantly different from that of the manufacturer and changes in the initial manufacturer's plan were necessary to get an accurate pre-operative plan of the implant sizes. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Careful evaluation of the initial manufacturer's plan by an experienced knee surgeon is mandatory when planning TKA with CT-based PSI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) are already in relatively common use, and their post-operative radiographic results are equal to those for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with conventional instrumentation. PSI use requires a preoperative MRI scan, CT scan, or a combination of MRI and a long-leg standing radiograph. However, there is no consensus as to which of these modalities, MRI or CT, is the preferred imaging modality when performing TKA with PSIs. METHODS This systematic literature review and meta-analysis studied the differences in alignment outliers between CT- and MRI-based PSI for TKA. A search of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, MEDLINE/PubMed and Embase was conducted, without restriction on date of publication. Only level I evidence studies written in English that included TKA with the use of MRI- and CT-based PSI were selected. A meta-analysis was then performed of the rate of outliers in the biomechanical axis and individual femoral and tibial component alignment. Where considerable heterogeneity among studies was present or the data did not provide sufficient information for performing the meta-analysis, a qualitative synthesis was undertaken. RESULTS Twelve randomized controlled trials, studying 841 knees, were eligible for data extraction and meta-analysis. MRI-based PSI resulted in a significantly lower proportion of coronal plane outliers with regard to the lateral femoral component (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.30-0.89, P = 0.02), without significant heterogeneity (n.s.). There were no significant differences regarding the biomechanical axis or frontal femoral and individual tibial component alignment. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate that alignment with MRI-based PSI is at least as good as, if not better than, that with CT-based PSI. To prevent for malalignment, MRI should be the imaging modality of choice when performing TKA surgery with PSI. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE I.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the short-term effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) assisted by three-dimensional (3D) printing osteotomy navigation template. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 60 patients with osteoarthritis bewteen January 2016 and June 2017. Thirty cases underwent TKA assisted by 3D printing osteotomy navigation template (3D printing group) and 30 cases underwent the conventional TKA (conventional TKA group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, body mass index, surgical side, and disease duration between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, the pre- and post-operative hemoglobin values, the amount of drainage, the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score and Knee Society Score (KSS) of knee joint before operation and at 3 months after operation were observed. And 6 freedom degrees of knee (the varus and valgus angle, the internal and external rotation angle, the antero-posterior displacement, the proximal-distal displacement, the flexion and extension angle, and the internal and external displacement) before operation and at 3 months after operation were recorded by Opti-Knee (the knee 3D motion analysis system). The values of 2 groups were compared with 30 healthy adults (<60 years). Results The operation time was shorter in 3D printing group than that in conventional TKA group ( t=5.833, P=0.000). The hemoglobin values at 1 and 3 days after operation were higher in 3D printing group than those in conventional TKA group ( P<0.05). The amount of drainage was less in 3D printing group than that in conventional TKA group ( t=5.468, P=0.000). All patients were followed up 6-9 months (mean, 7.3 months). There was no significant difference in pre- and post-operative HSS score and KSS clinical score between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in preoperative KSS function score between 2 groups ( P>0.05), but the KSS function score of 3D printing group at 3 months after operation was higher than that of conventional TKA group ( P<0.05). Before operation, the varus and valgus angle, the internal and external rotation angle, the antero-posterior displacement, the proximal-distal displacement of 3D printing group and conventional TKA group were larger than that of the healthy adults ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the flexion and extension angle and the internal and external displacement between 2 groups and healthy adults ( P>0.05). At 3 months after operation, compared with healthy adults, the varus and valgus angle of conventional TKA group was increased, the flexion and extension angle of conventional TKA group was decreased ( P<0.05); the proximal-distal displacement and the internal and external displacement of 2 groups were decreased ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in other freedom degrees between groups ( P>0.05). No sign of prosthesis loosening was observed by X-ray examination. Conclusion Compared with the traditional TKA, TKA assisted by the 3D printing osteotomy navigation template had such advantages as shorter operation time, less postoperative blood loss, and well postoperative recovery.

Abstract
In suitable patients, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) offers a number of advantages compared with total knee arthroplasty. However, the procedure is technically demanding, with a small tolerance for error. Assistive technology has the potential to improve the accuracy of implant positioning.This review paper describes the concept of detailed UKA planning in 3D, and the 3D printing technology that enables a plan to be delivered intraoperatively using patient-specific instrumentation (PSI).The varying guide designs that enable accurate registration are discussed and described. The system accuracy is reported.Future studies need to ascertain whether accuracy for low-volume surgeons can be delivered in the operating theatre using PSI, and reflected in improved patient reported outcome measures, and lower revision rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study contrasts the accuracy of different reconstructed models with distinctive segmentation methods performed by various experts. Seven research groups reconstructed nine 3D models of one human femur based on an acquired CT image using their own computational methods. As a reference model for accuracy assessment, a 3D surface scan of the human femur was created using an optical measuring system. Prior to comparison, the femur was divided into four areas; "neck and greater trochanter", "proximal metaphysis", "diaphysis", and "distal metaphysis". The deviation analysis was carried out in GEOMAGIC studio v.2013 software. RESULTS The results revealed that the highest deviation errors occurred in "neck and greater trochanter" area and "proximal metaphysis" area with RMSE of 0.84 and 0.83 mm respectively. CONCLUSION In conclusion, this study shows that the average deviation of reconstructed models prepared by experts with various methods, skills and software from the surface 3D scan is lower than 0.79 mm, which is not a significant discrepancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Single use patient-specific instruments (PSI) for total knee prosthesis are introduced as a new alternative to conventional ancillaries and computer assisted surgery by improving implants positioning. An exhaustive review was carried out to identify their specific characteristics, with their advantages and disadvantages. METHODS Medical devices suppliers were consulted in 2015 for reviewing their PSI. Their technical, clinical and economic data were compared. The results had been submitted to an orthopaedics expert commission of our university hospital for clinical and financial opinion. RESULTS Ten companies have provided the documentation for the analysis. PSI are manufactured by suppliers using a three dimensional printing method based on CT scans or MRI images. PSI are produced according to the surgeon's preferences after a preliminary data check, which can be performed by the suppliers' engineers, the surgeon and automatic calculation. Five suppliers can produce sterile PSI with optional delivery of 3D bone models. According to the experts, the studies failed to demonstrate the superiority of a PSI or hospital economic gain. The prices listed remain high and operating room time is not always significantly reduced. CONCLUSIONS With the development of personalized medicine, the role of PSI grows in importance. They facilitate the surgeon's work by fully respecting the anatomy. These systems offer an interesting perspective in their technical and pedagogical aspects. But it seems premature to take them into routine use given the low number of high-level studies that were currently done.

Abstract
PURPOSE Malalignment of implants is a major source of failure during total knee arthroplasty. To achieve more accurate 3D planning and execution of the osteotomy cuts during surgery, the Signature (Biomet, Warsaw) patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) was used to produce pin guides for the positioning of the osteotomy blocks by means of computer-aided manufacture based on CT scan images. The research question of this study is: what is the transfer accuracy of osteotomy planes predicted by the Signature PSI system for preoperative 3D planning and intraoperative block-guided pin placement to perform total knee arthroplasty procedures? METHODS The transfer accuracy achieved by using the Signature PSI system was evaluated by comparing the osteotomy planes predicted preoperatively with the osteotomy planes seen intraoperatively in human cadaveric legs. Outcomes were measured in terms of translational and rotational errors (varus, valgus, flexion, extension and axial rotation) for both tibia and femur osteotomies. RESULTS Average translational errors between the osteotomy planes predicted using the Signature system and the actual osteotomy planes achieved was 0.8 mm (± 0.5 mm) for the tibia and 0.7 mm (± 4.0 mm) for the femur. Average rotational errors in relation to predicted and achieved osteotomy planes were 0.1° (± 1.2°) of varus and 0.4° (± 1.7°) of anterior slope (extension) for the tibia, and 2.8° (± 2.0°) of varus and 0.9° (± 2.7°) of flexion and 1.4° (± 2.2°) of external rotation for the femur. CONCLUSION The similarity between osteotomy planes predicted using the Signature system and osteotomy planes actually achieved was excellent for the tibia although some discrepancies were seen for the femur. The use of 3D system techniques in TKA surgery can provide accurate intraoperative guidance, especially for patients with deformed bone, tailored to individual patients and ensure better placement of the implant.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients-specific instruments (PSI) for implantation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can be used to predict the implant size for both the femur and the tibia component. This study aims to determine the impact of approval of the PSI planning for TKA on the frequency of, and reason for intraoperative changes of implant sizes. METHODS The clinical records of 293 patients operated with MRI- (90.4 %) and CT-based (9.6 %) PSI were reviewed for actual used implant size. Preoperative default planning from the technician and approved planning by the operating surgeon were compared with the intraoperative implanted component size for both the femur and tibia. Intraoperative reason for not following the default sizes was outdated. Furthermore, MRI- and CT-based PSI were compared for these outcomes. RESULTS In 93.9 and 91.1 % for, respectively, the femur and tibia (n.s.), the surgeon planned size was implanted during surgery. The predicted size of the femur (p < 0.00) and the tibia (p < 0.00) component planned by a technician differed from the implanted component sizes in 62 (21.2 %) and 51 (17.4 %) patients, respectively. In 17 cases, the femoral component size was adapted intraoperative based on the expert opinion of the operating surgeon. In 26 cases, the tibia component was changed during the surgery because of a mediolateral overhang, sclerotic bone, medial or lateral release, limited extension and/or fixed varus deformity. The results between the MRI- and CT-based PSI did not differ (n.s.). CONCLUSIONS PSI is a tool to help the surgeon to achieve the best possible results during TKA. The planning made by a technician should always be validated and approved by the operating surgeon who has the ultimate responsibility regarding the operation. With PSI, the operating surgeon is able to minimize intraoperative implant size errors in advance to improve operating room efficiency with possible lowering hospital costs per procedure.

Abstract
Surgical accuracy is multifactorial. Therefore, it is crucial to consider all influencing factors when investigating the accuracy of a surgical procedure, such as the surgeon's experience, the assistive technologies that may be used by the surgeon, and the patient factors associated with the specific anatomical site. For in vitro preclinical investigations, accuracy should be linked to the concepts of trueness (e.g., distance from the surgical target) and precision (e.g., variability in relation to the surgical target) to gather preclinical, quantitative, objective data on the accuracy of completed surgical procedures that have been performed with assistive technologies. The clinical relevance of improvements in accuracy that have been observed experimentally may be evaluated by analyzing the impact on the risk of failure and by taking into account the level of tolerance in relation to the surgical target (e.g., the extent of the safety zone). The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) methodology enables preclinical testing of new assistive technologies to quantify improvements in accuracy and assess the benefits in terms of reducing the risk of failure and achieving surgical targets with tighter tolerances before the testing of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS This prospective randomised controlled trial was designed to evaluate the outcome of both the MRI- and CT-based patient-specific matched guides (PSG) from the same manufacturer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 137 knees in 137 patients (50 men, 87 women) were included, 67 in the MRI- and 70 in the CT-based PSG group. Their mean age was 68.4 years (47.0 to 88.9). Outcome was expressed as the biomechanical limb alignment (centre hip-knee-ankle: HKA-axis) achieved post-operatively, the position of the individual components within 3° of the pre-operatively planned alignment, correct planned implant size and operative data (e.g. operating time and blood loss). RESULTS The patient demographics (e.g. age, body mass index), correct planned implant size and operative data were not significantly different between the two groups. The proportion of outliers in the coronal and sagittal plane ranged from 0% to 21% in both groups. Only the number of outliers for the posterior slope of the tibial component showed a significant difference (p = 0.004) with more outliers in the CT group (n = 9, 13%) than in the MRI group (0%). CONCLUSION The post-operative HKA-axis was comparable in the MRI- and CT-based PSGs, but there were significantly more outliers for the posterior slope in the CT-based PSGs. TAKE HOME MESSAGE Alignment with MRI-based PSG is at least as good as, if not better, than that of the CT-based PSG, and is the preferred imaging modality when performing TKA with use of PSG.

3D printing facilitates the creation of accurate physical models of patient-specific anatomy from medical imaging datasets. While the majority of models to date are created from computed tomography (CT) data, there is increasing interest in creating models from other datasets, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI, in particular, holds great potential for 3D printing, given its excellent tissue characterization and lack of ionizing radiation. There are, however, challenges to 3D printing from MRI data as well. Here we review the basics of 3D printing, explore the current strengths and weaknesses of printing from MRI data as they pertain to model accuracy, and discuss considerations in the design of MRI sequences for 3D printing. Finally, we explore the future of 3D printing and MRI, including creative applications and new materials. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 5 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2017;45:635-645.

Abstract
PURPOSE Accurate component alignment in total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the important factors in determining long-term survivorship. This has been achieved by conventional jigs, computer-assisted technology (CAS) and more recently patient-specific instrumentation (PSI). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the in vivo accuracy of Trumatch™ PSI using validated pin-less computer navigation system. METHOD Twenty consecutive selected patients that fulfilled our inclusion/exclusion criteria underwent TKR using PSI. Coronal alignment, posterior slope, resection thickness and femoral sagittal alignment were recorded using pin-less navigation. The position of the actual cutting block was appropriately adjusted prior to proceeding to definitive resections. RESULTS The coronal alignment using PSI without the assistance of navigation would have resulted in 14 (70 %) within ±3°, 11 (55 %) within ±2° and 6 (30 %) outside acceptable alignment. Thirty-five percentage of proposed femur sagittal alignment and 55 % of posterior tibial slope were achieved within ±3°. Components size was accurately predicted in 95 % of femurs and 90 % of tibia. CONCLUSION The purported advantages in restoring alignments using Trumatch™ PSI alone over standard equipment are debatable. However, it predicts sizing well, and femoral coronal alignment is reasonable. Combining Trumatch™ PSI with CAS will allow in vivo verification and necessary corrections. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Additively manufactured bone models, implants and drill guides are becoming increasingly popular amongst maxillofacial surgeons and dentists. To date, such constructs are commonly manufactured using CT technology that induces ionizing radiation. Recently, ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI sequences have been developed that allow radiation-free imaging of facial bones. The aim of the present study was to assess the feasibility of UTE MRI sequences for medical additive manufacturing (AM). METHODS Three morphologically different dry human mandibles were scanned using a CT and MRI scanner. Additionally, optical scans of all three mandibles were made to acquire a "gold standard". All CT and MRI scans were converted into Standard Tessellation Language (STL) models and geometrically compared with the gold standard. To quantify the accuracy of the AM process, the CT, MRI and gold-standard STL models of one of the mandibles were additively manufactured, optically scanned and compared with the original gold-standard STL model. RESULTS Geometric differences between all three CT-derived STL models and the gold standard were <1.0 mm. All three MRI-derived STL models generally presented deviations <1.5 mm in the symphyseal and mandibular area. The AM process introduced minor deviations of <0.5 mm. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that MRI using UTE sequences is a feasible alternative to CT in generating STL models of the mandible and would therefore be suitable for surgical planning and AM. Further in vivo studies are necessary to assess the usability of UTE MRI sequences in clinical settings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this prospective study was to compare early clinical outcome, radiological limb alignment, and three-dimensional (3D)-component positioning between conventional and computed tomography (CT)-based patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) in primary mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Two hundred ninety consecutive patients (300 knees) with severe, debilitating osteoarthritis scheduled for TKA were included in this study using either conventional instrumentation (CVI, n = 150) or PSI (n = 150). Patients were clinically assessed before and 2 years after surgery according to the Knee-Society-Score (KSS) and the visual-analog-scale for pain (VAS). Additionally, the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Oxford-Knee-Score (OKS) were collected at follow-up. To evaluate accuracy of CVI and PSI, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and 3D-component positioning were assessed on postoperative radiographs and CT. RESULTS Data of 222 knees (CVI: n = 108, PSI: n = 114) were available for analysis after a mean follow-up of 28.6 ± 5.2 months. At the early follow-up, clinical outcome (KSS, VAS, WOMAC, OKS) was comparable between the two groups. Mean HKA-deviation from the targeted neutral mechanical axis (CVI: 2.2° ± 1.7°; PSI: 1.5° ± 1.4°; p < 0.001), rates of outliers (CVI: 22.2%; PSI: 9.6%; p = 0.016), and 3D-component positioning outliers were significantly lower in the PSI group. Non-outliers (HKA: 180° ± 3°) showed better clinical results than outliers at the 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS CT-based PSI compared with CVI improves accuracy of mechanical alignment restoration and 3D-component positioning in primary TKA. While clinical outcome was comparable between the two instrumentation groups at early follow-up, significantly inferior outcome was detected in the subgroup of HKA-outliers.

Abstract
Although the application of patient-specific instruments (PSI) for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) increases the cost of the surgical procedure, PSI may reduce operative time and improve implant alignment, which could reduce the number of revision surgeries. We report our experience with TKA using PSI techniques in 120 patients from March to December 2014. PSI for TKA were created from data provided by computed tomography (CT) scans or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); which imaging technology is more reliable for the PSI technique remains unclear. In the first 20 patients, the accuracy of bone resection and PSI stability were compared between CT and MRI scans with presurgical results as a reference; MRI produced better results. In the second and third groups, each with 50 patients, the results of bone resection and stability were compared in MRI scans with respect to the quality of scanning due to motion artifacts and experienced know-how in PSI design, respectively. The optimized femoral cutting guide design for PSI showed the closest outcomes in bone resection and PSI stability with presurgical data. It is expected that this design could be a reasonable guideline in PSI.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Recent publications on patient-specific instrumentation for total knee arthroplasty have reported considerable variability in the axial positioning of the cutting guides for the femoral component. These personalized cutting guides are manufactured based on bone shape data, generated from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT). The goal of this study was to compare the reproducibility and accuracy of distal femoral torsion (DFT) values measured using these two imaging modalities. We hypothesized that MRI does not reproducibly and consistently measure DFT and is not as accurate as CT scan. METHODS Anonymized radiology records from 54 patients that included MRI and CT scans of the knee were read in random order by two observers, on two separate occasions. These records were from patients being considered for a meniscal or osteochondral graft and who had their knee explored, but who had not undergone femoral or tibial surgery and were free of osteoarthritis. The DFT was estimated using the posterior condylar angle (PCA), using both its anatomical and surgical definitions. The intra- and inter-observer reproducibility of the MRI and the differences relative to CT scan measurements were analysed. RESULTS The average intra-observer difference for the MRI evaluation of the anatomical PCA was 0.8±1.2°; it was 0.4±0.9° for the surgical PCA. More than 1° difference from the average was found in 8 cases (14%) using the anatomical PCA measurement and 4 cases (7.4%) when using the surgical PCA (P=0.4). The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) were 0.67 (95% CI: 0.33-0.85) and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.47-0.89) for the anatomical and surgical PCA, respectively. The average inter-observer difference for the MRI evaluation of the anatomical PCA was 1.6±1.4°; it was 1.5±1.0° for the surgical PCA. More than 1° difference from the average was found in 27 cases (50%) using the anatomical PCA measurement and 22 cases (40%) when using the surgical PCA (P=0.4). The ICCs were 0.31 (95% CI: 0.14-0.65) and 0.48 (95% CI: 0.06-0.75) for the anatomical and surgical PCA, respectively. The average differences between the CT and MRI measurements were 1.4±1.1° (0.2-5°) and 1.1±0.8° (0-3.6°) for the anatomical and surgical PCA, respectively. Greater than 1° difference between CT and MRI was found in 29 records (54%) for the anatomical PCA and in 18 records (33%) for the surgical PCA (P=0.03). CONCLUSION DFT measurement on MRI is more reproducible and consistent when using the surgical PCA. MRI measurements differed by more than 1° relative to CT measurements in more than one-third of cases. CASE CONTROL STUDY Level III.

Abstract
Previous reports have stated that MRI is less accurate than CT for patient specific guide creation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Twenty-three TKAs were performed with CT-based guides and 27 with MRI-based guides. A mechanical axis through the central third of the knee was achieved in 88.9% of MRI-guided TKA versus 69.6% of CT-guided TKA (p=0.07). There were nine component outliers in the CT group (39.1%) and two in the MRI group (7.4%, p=0.00768). The relative risk of having an outlier using a CT-based guide was 5.28 times that of an MRI-based guide. Superior overall alignment and fewer outliers were achieved with the use of MRI compared with CT. MRI is the best imaging modality for surgeons wishing to utilize patient specific guides for TKA.

Abstract
Published clinical trials who studied the accuracy of patient-specific guides (PSG) for total knee arthroplasty exclude patients with articular deformity of the knee joint. We prospectively analysed a series of 30 patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee joint with use of PSG. At 1 year post-operative, the achieved biomechanical (HKA) axis and varus/valgus of the femur and tibia components were measured on anterior-posterior (AP) long-standing weight-bearing radiographs. Flexion/extension of the femoral and AP slope of the tibia component was measured on standard lateral radiographs. Percentages >3° deviation of the pre-operative planned HKA axis and individual implant components were considered as outliers. Approved and used implant size, median blood loss (ml) and operation time (min) were obtained from the operation records. Pre- and 1-year post-operative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were performed. Eighty-three per cent of the patients had a HKA axis restored <3° of the pre-operative planned alignment. Varus/valgus outliers were 0.0 and 6.7 % for the femoral and tibial components, respectively. Percentages of outliers of flexion/extension were 36.7 % for the femoral component and 10.0 % for the AP slope of the tibial component. Median blood loss was 300 ml (50-700), while operation time was 67 min (44-144). In 20 % of all cases, the approved implant size was changed into one size smaller. One-year post-operative PROMs improved significantly. We conclude that the accuracy of CT-based PSG is not impaired in patients with post-traumatic osteoarthritis and this modality can restore biomechanical limb alignment.

Abstract
Purpose Computer-assisted orthopedic surgery aims at minimizing invasiveness, postoperative pain, and morbidity with computer-assisted preoperative planning and intra-operative guidance techniques, of which camera-based navigation and patient-specific templates (PST) are the most common. PSTs are one-time templates that guide the surgeon initially in cutting slits or drilling holes. This method can be extended to reusable and customizable surgical guides (CSG), which can be adapted to the patients’ bone. Determining the right set of CSG input parameters by hand is a challenging task, given the vast amount of input parameter combinations and the complex physical interaction between the PST/CSG and the bone. Methods This paper introduces a novel algorithm to solve the problem of choosing the right set of input parameters. Our approach predicts how well a CSG instance is able to reproduce the planned alignment based on a physical simulation and uses a genetic optimization algorithm to determine optimal configurations. We validate our technique with a prototype of a pin-based CSG and nine rapid prototyped distal femora. Results The proposed optimization technique has been compared to manual optimization by experts, as well as participants with domain experience. Using the optimization technique, the alignment errors remained within practical boundaries of 1.2 mm translation and \documentclass[12pt]{minimal}

Conclusions Manually optimizing CSG parameters turns out to be a counterintuitive task. Even after training, subjects with and without anatomical background fail in choosing appropriate CSG configurations. Our optimization algorithm ensures that the CSG is configured correctly, and we could demonstrate that the intended alignment of the CSG is accurately reproduced on all tested bone geometries.

Abstract
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has recently been introduced to improve the alignment following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, controversy remains between PSI and conventional instrumentation. The aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of PSI with conventional instruments for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A systematic literature search was performed in databases including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Web of Science. All of the available randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) or non-randomized, controlled trials (nRCTs) comparing PSI with conventional instruments for TKA were identified. A statistical analysis was performed of this meta-analysis. Eighteen studies with 2417 patients were included in the authors' final analysis. The results of the meta-analysis demonstrated that there were no statistical differences in outliers of the mechanical axis (risk ratio [RR], 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-1.11), the femoral component in the coronal (RR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.32-1.05) and sagittal (RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.60-1.14) plane, the tibial component in the coronal (RR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.52-1.35) and sagittal (RR, 1.04; 95% CI, 0.69-1.55) plane, and the femoral component rotation (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.57, 1.83) between the 2 groups. In addition, subgroup analysis showed that the study design and imaging used for preoperative scanning did not affect the outcome of the alignment, but a different PSI system might. The authors' meta-analysis indicated that the accuracy of PSI was not superior to conventional instruments for patients undergoing TKA. Future RCTs should focus on functional outcomes and component survivorship with mid- to long-term follow-up.

Abstract
AIM To summarise and compare currently available evidence regarding accuracy of pre-operative imaging, which is one of the key choices for surgeons contemplating patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) surgery. METHODS The MEDLINE and EMBASE medical literature databases were searched, from January 1990 to December 2013, to identify relevant studies. The data from several clinical studies was assimilated to allow appreciation and comparison of the accuracy of each modality. The overall accuracy of each modality was calculated as proportion of outliers > 3% in the coronal plane of both computerised tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RESULTS Seven clinical studies matched our inclusion criteria for comparison and were included in our study for statistical analysis. Three of these reported series using MRI and four with CT. Overall percentage of outliers > 3% in patients with CT-based PSI systems was 12.5% vs 16.9% for MRI-based systems. These results were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION Although many studies have been undertaken to determine the ideal pre-operative imaging modality, conclusions remain speculative in the absence of long term data. Ultimately, information regarding accuracy of CT and MRI will be the main determining factor. Increased accuracy of pre-operative imaging could result in longer-term savings, and reduced accumulated dose of radiation by eliminating the need for post-operative imaging and revision surgery.

Abstract
Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) has been introduced as a tool to increase the accuracy of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with conventional instrumentation (CLI). However, previous studies have shown inconsistent results. The authors conducted a meta-analysis to compare the performance of PSI to CLI in TKA. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials electronic databases were systematically searched to identify eligible trials published between 2000 and March 2014. Two reviewers independently assessed methodological quality according to the Cochrane Handbook. Subgroup analyses were performed based on the different study designs (randomized, controlled trial [RCT] vs non-randomized, controlled trial [non-RCT]), preoperative magnetic resonance imaging vs computed tomography, and systems of PSI to explore the source of heterogeneity. Fourteen studies (7 RCTs and 7 non-RCTs) involving 1906 patients were included. There were no statistical differences with respect to the outliers of mechanical axis, coronal femoral component, sagittal femoral component, femoral component rotation, operative time, blood loss, and length of hospital stay between PSI and CLI groups. The number of outliers in coronal tibial components (odds ratio, 2.29; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to 4.35; P=.01) and sagittal tibial components (odds ratio, 1.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.16 to 2.42; P<.01) was significantly lower in the CLI group than in the PSI group. Based on the numbers available, the use of PSI compared with CLI was not likely to improve the accuracy of component alignment and treatment effects of TKA. Further high-quality RCTs are warranted to confirm the authors' results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The patient-specific guide for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is created from the data provided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. It remains unknown which imaging technology is suitable for the patient-specific guide. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of implant positioning and operative times between the two types of patient-specific guides for TKA. METHODS Forty arthritic knees were divided into two treatment groups using MRI-based (PS-MRI group) or CT-based (PS-CT group) patient-specific guides in this prospective, comparative study. The guide in the PS-MRI group had a cutting slot, whereas that in the PS-CT group only had a pin locator. The operative times were compared between the two groups. The angular error and number of outliers (deviations >3°) of the implant position using pre- and postoperative CT were investigated in both groups. RESULTS The mean operative time was significantly shorter in the PS-MRI group (109.2 ± 16.5 min) than in the PS-CT group (129.5 ± 19.4 min) (p<0.001). There were no significant differences in the accuracy of the implant position regarding the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes between the groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS To reduce the operative time, guides with additional functions, such as cutting and positioning, should be used. Both CT- and MRI-based-guides would result in the same accuracy in three planes but high inaccuracy in the sagittal plane. The use of patient-specific guide based on MRI might not be cost-effective. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE level 2.
