Abstract
Acetabular fractures still pose a special challenge even today. Considering the increasing case numbers, especially in the geriatric patient group, modern imaging examination procedures represent an essential pillar of the diagnostics. Especially in this vulnerable patient group, minimally invasive methods are necessary, which can be guaranteed by intraoperative navigation; however, the choice of surgical access and implants is also made based on the existing morphological characteristics of fractures, which highlights the importance of an imaging modality that is as detailed as possible. Last but not least, new developments concerning the surgical treatment of these injuries are also based on this. This article summarizes the current state of the techniques and the available literature.

Abstract
Objective Pelvic injuries refer to the disruption of the inherent structural and mechanical integrity of the pelvic ring. Sacroiliac screw fixation technique is often used for the treatment of posterior pelvic ring injury, which is prone to the iatrogenic injury. Various attempts were proposed to avoid iatrogenic injuries, while the executing processes are usually too cumbersome. The patient-personalized guide template based on 3D printing technology has been considered as a promising method, which can achieve lower deviation and higher accuracy in a simple and convenient way. We reported the first case of posterior pelvic ring injury using 3D printing personalized guide template with the verification of intraoperative CT. Methods The subject was a 74-year-old female with posterior pelvic ring injury. Two patient-specific guide templates were customized based on 3D printing technology, one for S1 and the other for S2. We used the guide templates for navigation to place the sacroiliac screws. The placement of screws was verified by intraoperative CT. Intraoperative and postoperative variables were collected. Results The technique helped us successfully insert the sacroiliac screws into the safe zone. The intraoperative blood loss was 23.03 ml, and the duration of operation was 62 min. The exposure dose during CT scanning was 7.025 mSv. The assessment of screws position was excellent. Furthermore, there was no sign of any functional impairment postoperatively. Conclusion Sacroiliac screws fixation with the assistance of 3D printing personalized guide template under the verification of intraoperative CT may be a promising method to treat posterior pelvic ring injuries.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intraoperative 3D imaging has become a valued tool in assessing the quality of reduction and implant placement in orthopedic trauma surgery. In our institution, 3D imaging is used routinely since 2001. To evaluate the intraoperative findings and consequences of this technique, intraoperative revision rates in cases with 3D imaging were analyzed. METHODS All operative procedures carried out with intraoperative 3D imaging between August 2001 and December 2016 were included. The scans were assessed intraoperatively and documented thereafter. In case of malreduction or misplaced implants, an immediate revision was performed. The number of scans per case as well as the findings and consequences drawn regarding the anatomical region were analyzed. RESULTS 4721 cases with 7201 3D scans were included in this study. The most common anatomical regions were the ankle (22.3%), the calcaneus (14.8%) and the tibial head (9.5%). In 19.1% of all cases, an intraoperative revision was performed. The highest revision rates were found with 36.0% in calcaneal fractures, 24.8% in fractures of the tibial plateau, 22.3% in injuries of the ankle. In 52.0% of revisions, the reduction was improved regarding intra-articular steps or joint congruency. In 30.5% an implant was corrected. CONCLUSION Intraoperative revision due to results of 3D imaging was performed in almost one-fifth of cases. This illustrates the improved possibilities to detect malreduction and implant misplacements intraoperatively and thus the abilities to improve surgical outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Background In syndesmotic injuries, incorrect reduction leads to early arthrosis of the ankle joint. Being able to analyze the reduction result is therefore crucial for obtaining an anatomical reduction. Several studies that assess fibular rotation in the incisura have already been published. The aim of the study was to validate measurement methods that use cone beam computed tomography imaging to detect rotational malpositions of the fibula in a standardized specimen model. Methods An artificial Maisonneuve injury was created on 16 pairs of fresh-frozen lower legs. Using a stable instrument, rotational malpositions of 5, 10, and 15° internal and external rotation were generated. For each malposition of the fibula, a cone beam computed tomography scan was performed. Subsequently, the malpositions were measured and statistically evaluated with t-tests using two measuring methods: angle (γ) at 10 mm proximal to the tibial joint line and the angle (δ) at 6 mm distal to the talar joint line. Results Rotational malpositions of ≥ 10° could be reliably displayed in the 3D images using the measuring method with angle δ. For angle γ significant results could only be displayed for an external rotation malposition of 15°. Conclusions Clinically relevant rotational malpositions of the fibula in comparison with an uninjured contralateral side can be reliably detected using intraoperative 3D imaging with a C-arm cone beam computed tomography. This may allow surgeons to achieve better reduction of fibular malpositions in the incisura tibiofibularis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When using mobile 3D C-arms, impairments in image quality occur due to artefacts caused by metal implants as well as to the limited field of view. To avoid these restrictions, special computed tomography devices were designed, in order to improve image quality and to meet requirements for intraoperative usage. OBJECTIVES To analyse practicability and benefits of a mobile intraoperative CT device (Airo, Brainlab, Munich, Germany) on the basis of several parameters that were obtained during a 40-month period. MATERIALS AND METHODS All procedures that were performed with usage of intraoperative CT between January 2017 and April 2020 were analysed with respect to anatomical region, count of scans, duration of scans, consequences drawn from the scans and use of navigation. RESULTS 354 CT-scans were performed in 171 patients (mean 2.07 [1 - 6] scans per procedure). 47.81% of the procedures were spinal, 52.19% affected the pelvis. 83% of the procedures were navigated. In 22% of patients, improvement in implant placement or reduction was achieved; in most patients (55%), a guidewire for pedicle screws was corrected. The mean scan duration was 10.33 s (3.54 - 21.72). CONCLUSIONS Use of intraoperative CT was reliable and helpful. Integration in OR standards requires more effort than mobile 3D C-arms. Image quality was outstanding for intraoperative conditions and allowed proper assessment of implant placement and reduction in all cases. Due to the high financial outlay of the system and the good image quality of 3D C-arms in the extremities, we assume that this procedure can be applied in intraoperative CT in traumatological cases in spinal and pelvic surgery in high-level trauma centres.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and complications between two minimally invasive surgical techniques: percutaneous transiliac plate fixation and iliosacral (IS) screw fixation for the treatment of Tile C-type pelvic bone fractures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of 77 consecutive patients with Tile C pelvic ring injuries who underwent either percutaneous transiliac plate fixation or IS screw fixation in a single academic center between November 2007 and January 2018. We recorded patients' demographics, surgery-related data, and postoperative surgical outcomes and compared the incidence of complications and revision surgery rates between the two groups. RESULTS Overall, 14 patients were included in the plate group, while 63 were included in the IS screw fixation group. No significant differences were observed in the patients' demographics between the two groups except for a longer interval from injury to surgery (13.5 days vs. 5.4 days, P = 0.001). Both groups acquired fracture union in all cases. There was one case of infection requiring surgical debridement in the plating group. Notably, nerve injury (n = 3) and implant loosening (n = 5) occurred in the IS screw group, but the difference was not significant. CONCLUSIONS Both percutaneous posterior transiliac plating and IS screw fixation in patients with Tile C-type pelvic bone fractures showed good results. We recommend IS screw fixation as the primary treatment and propose posterior plating as treatment for sacral dysmorphism and bilateral sacral alar fractures in patients with spinopelvic dissociation.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated a frequent occurrence of screw/K-wire malpositioning during surgical fracture treatment under 2D fluoroscopy and a correspondingly high revision rate as a result of using intraoperative 3D imaging. In order to facilitate and accelerate the diagnosis of implant malpositioning in 3D data sets, this study investigates two versions of an implant detection software for mobile 3D C-arms in terms of their detection performance based on comparison with manual evaluation. The 3D data sets of patients who had received surgical fracture treatment at five anatomical regions were extracted from the research database. First, manual evaluation of the data sets was performed, and the number of implanted implants was assessed. For 25 data sets, the time required by four investigators to adjust each implant was monitored. Subsequently, the evaluation was performed using both software versions based on the following detection parameters: true-positive-rate, false-negative-rate, false-detection-rate and positive predictive value. Furthermore, the causes of false positive and false negative detected implants depending on the anatomical region were investigated. Two hundred fourteen data sets with overall 1767 implants were included. The detection parameters were significantly improved (p<.001) from version 1 to version 2 of the implant detection software. Automatic evaluation required an average of 4.1±0.4 s while manual evaluation was completed in 136.15±72.9 s (p<.001), with a statistically significant difference between experienced and inexperienced users (p=.005). In summary, version 2 of the implant detection software achieved significantly better results. The time saved by using the software could contribute to optimizing the intraoperative workflow.

Abstract
Objectives To compare intraoperative 3D fluoroscopy with a ceiling-mounted flat panel detector in plate osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures (AO/OTA 2R3C1.2) with volar locking plate systems to conventional 2D fluoroscopy for detection of insufficient fracture reduction, plate misplacement and protruding screws. Methods Using a common volar approach on 12 cadaver forearms, total intraarticular distal radius fractures were induced, manually reduced and internally fixated with a 2.4 distal radius locking compression plate. 2D (anterior-posterior and lateral) and 3D (rotational) fluoroscopic images were taken as well as computed tomographies. Fluoroscopic images, Cone Beam CT (CBCT), 360° rotating sequences (so called “Movies”) and CT scans were co-evaluated by a specialist orthopedic surgeon and a specialist radiologist regarding quality of fracture reduction, position of plate, position of the three distal locking screws and position of the three diaphyseal screws. In reference to gold standard CT, sensitivity and specifity were analyzed. Results “Movie” showed highest sensitivity for detection of insufficient fracture reduction (88%). Sensitivity for detection of incorrect position of plate was 100% for CBCT and 90% for “Movie.” For intraarticular position of screws, 2D fluoroscopy and CBCT showed highest sensitivity and specifity (100 and 91%, respectively). Regarding detection of only marginal intraarticular position of screws, sensitivity and specifity of 2D fluoroscopy reached 100% (CBCT: 100 and 83%). “Movie” showed highest sensitivity for detection of overlapping position of screws (100%). When it comes to specifity, CBCT achieved 100%. Regarding detection of only marginal overlapping position of screws, 2D fluoroscopy and “Movie” showed highest sensitivity (100%). CBCT achieved highest specifity (100%). Conclusion As for assessment of quality of fracture reduction and detection of incorrect position of plate as well as overlapping position of the three diaphyseal screws CBCT and “Movie” are comparable to CT – especially when combined. Particularly sensitivity is high compared to standard 2D fluoroscopy.

Influence of unstable ankle fracture (type Weber C), osteosynthesis and syndesmotic transfixation on position of fibula in tibiofibular notch: a cadaveric study. Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg 2021; 48:1445-1452. [PMID: 34137911 DOI: 10.1007/s00068-021-01721-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the cadaveric study was to determine the effects of an unstable ankle fracture on the position of the fibula in the incisural notch and subsequently to evaluate the alterations resulting from the individual steps of a guideline-based osteosynthesis. METHODS In a specimen model with 20 uninjured fresh-frozen lower legs with induced unstable fracture of the fibula (type Weber C), a guideline-based osteosynthesis was performed. The distances between the anterior and posterior edges of the tibia and fibula and in the center of the incisural notch, as well as the rotation angle of the fibula, were measured in the acquired 3D image data sets and were compared with the intact condition of the ankle mortise. RESULTS The dissection of the syndesmosis and osteotomy of the fibula results in an external rotation the fibula by 3.6° (p = 0.000), while the distance between the anterior edge of the tibia and the fibula widens by 1.86 mm (p = 0.000). After osteosynthesis of the fibula and transfixation of the syndesmotic region using a positioning screw, the posterior distance is no longer substantially increased by 0.22 mm (p = 0.103) but also reduced by 0.1 mm (p = 0.104) in the tibiofibular notch. The external rotation of the fibula remains slightly increased by just 0.45° (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION The results indicate that there is a tendency for over-compression when adjusting the tibiofibular distance and that the fibula in the tibiofibular notch tends to remain slightly rotated externally.

Kim CH, Kim JW. Plate versus sacroiliac screw fixation for treating posterior pelvic ring fracture: a Systematic review and meta-analysis. Injury 2020; 51:2259-2266. [PMID: 32646648 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2020.07.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2020] [Revised: 06/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/02/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether plate fixation or sacroiliac (SI) screw fixation is the better treatment for posterior pelvic ring disruption is controversial. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the two fixation methods. MATERIAL AND METHODS The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for studies comparing plate and SI screw fixations in posterior pelvic ring injuries. Intraoperative variables, postoperative complications, and clinical/radiological scores were compared between the techniques. RESULTS Eleven studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, and nine in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis included 202 patients who underwent plate fixation and 258 patients who underwent SI screw fixation. The incision length and mean blood loss were greater in the plate group than in the SI screw group (standard mean difference (SMD) = 7.29, 95% confidence interval (CI): 3.18-11.40; SMD = 5.09, 95% CI: 2.08-8.09, respectively). Patients in the SI screw group had more X-ray exposure than those in the plate group (SMD = -5.96, 95% CI: -7.95-3.97). There were no differences in operation time and intraoperative complications (SMD = -1.42, 95% CI: -3.90-1.05; OR = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.05-18.60, respectively). The duration of hospital stay was longer in the plate group (SMD = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.74-2.68). There were no differences in postoperative neurological complications, infection rate, and nonunion rate (OR = 1.62, 95% CI: 0.20-13.21; OR = 2.10, 95% CI: 0.74-5.94; OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.26-4.87, respectively), but implant loosening was more common in the SI screw group (OR = 0.18, 95% CI: 0.04-0.87). There was no difference in revision surgery (OR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.02-2.14). The total excellent rating according to the postoperative Majeed functional and Matta scores was higher in the SI screw group (OR = 0.43, 95% CI: 0.20-0.91; OR = 0.24, 95% CI: 0.08-0.74, respectively). CONCLUSIONS SI screw fixation was superior to plate fixation in the functional and radiological scores, but implant loosening was more common for the treatment posterior pelvic ring injuries.

Abstract
Intraoperative imaging has been advanced substantially over the last decades. It supports localization of the region of interest, verification of the preoperatively classified fracture pattern, identification of correct insertion point of the implant, placement of instruments and fixation material, and verification of correct fracture reduction and implant positioning. While conventional fluoroscopic 2D imaging remains the gold standard in intraoperative imaging, critical anatomical regions are predestined for intraoperative 3D imaging. Additional options such as perioperative virtual planning, simulation, and surgical training, 3D printing techniques and 3D augmented reality visualization may potentially open new windows to improve surgical results in fracture care. This manuscript presents an update on current and upcoming imaging techniques in orthopaedic and trauma surgery focusing on technical advances for decreasing malreduction, malalignment, and malposition, as well as tips and tricks for daily surgical practice in order to improve clinical outcomes and patients' and surgeons' safety.

Abstract
Background:
Intraoperative two-dimensional (2D) fluoroscopy is the standard imaging modality available to orthopaedic surgeons worldwide. It is well-accepted, however, multiplanar 3 dimensional (3D) CT scanning is superior to 2D imaging for visualising joint surfaces and is now a fundamental feature of the pre-operative planning of intra-articular fractures.
Objective:
We present two cases in which the use of 3D intraoperative imaging and the O-arm® (Medtronic, Minneapolis, USA) led to immediate intraoperative revision to optimise fixation and articular congruity. A review of the current literature is also provided.
Methods:
During the trial period of the O-arm at our major trauma centre, intra-operative imaging was used in the lower limb trauma setting. The O-arm was used intra-operatively in a comminuted pilon fracture and a displaced talus fracture. We recorded all the intra-operative events, including quality of reduction, implant positioning and operation time. Each patient was followed-up for 12 months post-operation and was finally assessed with x-rays and the AOFAS score.
Results:
In both the cases, either fracture reduction or the implant position/usage that was observed with 2D fluoroscopy was revised following a 3D intra-operative scan. No postoperative complications were noted and the healing process was uneventful. X-rays at the final follow-up were excellent and acceptable for the talus and pilon fracture, respectively, with corresponding clinical results and AOFAS score.
Conclusion:
Although frequently used in spinal surgery, to the best of our knowledge, the use of intra-operative 3D techniques in lower limb trauma is sparse and sporadically reported. We present our cases in which the most current innovative imaging techniques influenced intra-operative outcomes without compromising patient safety. We feel that this is a real example of how innovation can positively influence patient care.

Influence of ankle joint position on angles and distances of the ankle mortise using intraoperative cone beam CT: A cadaveric study. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0217737. [PMID: 31150469 PMCID: PMC6544278 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0217737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2017] [Accepted: 05/18/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The precise anatomical reduction of the ankle mortise is crucial for the clinical outcome in unstable syndesmotic injuries. Intraoperative cone beam computed tomography (CT), in addition to two-dimensional fluoroscopy, provides detailed information about the reduction and implant placement. The aim of this study was to analyze the influence of the joint position on the fibula position in the incisural notch and to determine the inter- and intraindividual anatomical differences in the intact ankle joints. METHODS A total of 20 fresh-frozen lower legs disarticulated in the knee joint of 10 individuals were included. The measurements were performed using a cone beam CT. The distances and angles were measured in the standard imaging planes. The mean values of distances and angles were compared during the different joint positions: 10° dorsiflexion, 0° neutral position and 20° plantar flexion. RESULTS The influence of the joint position was on average as follows: The anterior tibiofibular distance was 3.68 mm in 10° dorsiflexion, 3.66 mm (0° neutral position) and 3.59 mm (20° plantar flexion). The posterior tibiofibular distance measured 7.82mm, 7.76mm and 7.82mm. The rotation of the fibula measured ten millimeters proximal the joint line was 1.2°, 1.3° and 1.05°. The fibular rotation determined 4mm was 9.3°, 9.4° and 9.4°. On average, the following intraindividual variations were observed: superior tibiotalar clear space of 0.27mm and 0.15mm medial; and anterior tibiofibular distance of 0.42mm, 0.38mm posterior and 0.24mm in the incisural notch. The proximal angle of the fibular rotation was 0.2° and distal 0.4°. The interindividual variations of the angles and distances exceeded the intraindividual values partly by 3 to 4 fold. CONCLUSIONS Within the scope of this study neither the tibiofibular distance, nor the tibiofibular angle changed significantly through the different joint positions. The intraindividual differences were little while the interindividual variations of the parameters were distinctive.

Abstract
The reconstruction of anatomical joint surfaces, limb alignment and rotational orientation are crucial in the treatment of fractures in terms of preservation of function and range of motion. To assess reduction and implant position intra-operatively, mobile C-arms are mandatory to immediately and continuously control these parameters.Usually, these devices are operated by OR staff or radiology technicians and assessed by the surgeon who is performing the procedure. Moreover, due to special objectives in the intra-operative setting, the situation cannot be compared with standard radiological image acquisition. Thus, surgeons need to be trained and educated to ensure correct technical conduct and interpretation of radiographs.It is essential to know the standard views of the joints and long bones and how to position the patient and C-arm in order to acquire these views. Additionally, the operating field must remain sterile, and the radiation exposure of the patient and staff must be kept as low as possible.In some situations, especially when reconstructing complex joint fractures or spinal injuries, complete evaluation of critical aspects of the surgical results is limited in two-dimensional views and fluoroscopy. Intra-operative three-dimensional imaging using special C-arms offers a valuable opportunity to improve intra-operative assessment and thus patient outcome.In this article, common fracture situations in trauma surgery as well as special circumstances that the surgeon may encounter are addressed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Misperception on the fluoroscopic image showing a well-placed iliosacral (IS) screw can occur, when the screw is in reality misplaced. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate and highlight examples of misperception and suggest alternative inlet and outlet views to confirm adequate IS screw placement. METHODS We used 9 different pelvic plastic models. In 8 of those models, IS screws were purposely misplaced: exiting anterior at the midportion of the S1 body, exiting at the lateral aspect of the anterior S1 body, abutting posterior to S1 body, exiting posterior to the S1 body, exiting superior to the far-side of the sacral ala, exiting superior to the S1 body, exiting partially in the S1 foramen, exiting completely in the S1 foramen. One model was used as control with correct screw placement. Different outlet and inlet views were tested to accurately detect important anatomic landmarks and avoid fake phenomenon (FP) using 3 different angles. RESULTS Misperception occurred in 3 models: (1) penetration at the midportion of the anterior border of S1, (2) penetration of the superior sacrum ala, and (3) partial penetration of S1 foramen. In the first situation, misperception could be avoided when the "anterior inlet view" was obtained. In the other 2 situations, misperception could be avoided using specific outlet views herein described. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight that misperception can occur using standard inlet and outlet views. We suggest using 2 variations of the inlet views and 3 variations of the outlet views to avoid misperception in clinical practice.
