Abstract
A 9-month-old mixed-breed dog was presented for bilateral proximal tibial deformity resulting in an excessive tibial plateau angle and cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency. Initial surgical management of the right pelvic limb was done by performing a cranial closing wedge ostectomy. Inadequate leveling of the plateau resulted in a postliminal meniscal tear which was addressed during a revision tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. The left pelvic limb was managed in a single-session surgery using three-dimensional (3D) virtual surgical planning and custom 3D-printed surgical guides to perform a combined cranial closing wedge ostectomy and tibial plateau leveling osteotomy. Postoperative 3D analysis of the left tibia revealed the accuracy of the surgical result within 2° of the virtual surgical plan. The dog developed a transient grade II/IV left medial patellar luxation following surgery but ultimately attained a full functional recovery and was actively engaged in competitive agility work 46 months following surgery on the left pelvic limb.

Abstract
Orthopedic oncology has begun to use three-dimensional-printing technology, which is expected to improve the accuracy of osteotomies, ensure a safe margin, and facilitate precise surgery. However, several difficulties should be considered. Cadaver and clinical studies have reported more accurate osteotomies for bone-tumor resection using patient-specific cutting guides, especially in challenging areas such as the sacrum and pelvis, compared to manual osteotomies. Patient-specific cutting guides can help surgeons achieve resection with negative margins and reduce blood loss and operating time. Furthermore, this patient-specific cutting guide could be combined with more precise reconstruction using patient-specific implants or massive bone allografts. This review provides an overview of the basic technologies used in the production of patient-specific cutting guides and discusses their current status, advantages, and limitations. Moreover, we summarize cadaveric and clinical studies on the use of these guides in orthopedic oncology.

Development and ex-vivo assessment of a novel patient specific guide and instrumentation system for minimally invasive total shoulder arthroplasty. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0251880. [PMID: 34019573 PMCID: PMC8139503 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0251880] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective To develop and assess a novel guidance technique and instrumentation system for minimally invasive short-stemmed total shoulder arthroplasty that will help to reduce the complications associated with traditional open replacement such as poor muscle healing and neurovascular injury. We have answered key questions about the developed system including (1) can novel patient-specific guides be accurately registered and used within a minimally invasive environment?; (2) can accuracy similar to traditional techniques be achieved? Methods A novel intra-articular patient-specific guide was developed for use with a new minimally invasive posterior surgical approach that guides bone preparation without requiring muscle resection or joint dislocation. Additionally, a novel set of instruments were developed to enable bone preparation within the minimally invasive environment. The full procedure was evaluated in six cadaveric shoulders, using digitizations to assess accuracy of each step. Results Patient-specific guide registration accuracy in 3D translation was 2.2±1.2mm (RMSE±1 SD; p = 0.007) for the humeral component and 2.7±0.7mm (p<0.001) for the scapula component. Final implantation accuracy was 2.9±3.0mm (p = 0.066) in translation and 5.7–6.8±2.2–4.0° (0.001<p<0.009) across the humerus implants’ three rotations. Similarly, the glenoid component’s implantation accuracy was 3.0±1.7mm (p = 0.008) in translation and 2.3–4.3±2.2–4.4° (0.008<p<0.09) in rotation. Conclusion This system achieves minimally invasive shoulder replacement with accuracy similar to traditional open techniques while avoiding common causes of complications. Significance This novel technique could lead to a paradigm shift in shoulder arthroplasty for patients with moderate arthritis, which could significantly improve rehabilitation and functional outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the surgical execution of a virtual surgical plan (VSP) with three-dimensional (3D) guides against a freehand approach in the equine navicular bone using an automated in silico computer analysis technique. STUDY DESIGN Eight pairs of cadaveric forelimb specimens of adult horses were used in an ex vivo experimental study design with in silico modelling. Limbs received either a 3.5 mm cortical screw according to a VSP or using an aiming device. Using computed tomography and computer segmentation, a comparison was made between the executed screw and the planned screw using the Hausdorff distance (HD). RESULTS Navicular bone mean HD registration error was -0.06 ± 0.29 mm. The VSP with 3D printing demonstrated significantly superior accuracy with a mean deviation of 1.19 ± 0.42 mm compared with aiming device group (3.53 ± 1.24 mm, p = 0.0018). The VSP group was 5.0 times more likely to result in a mean aberration of less than 1.0 mm (95% confidence interval, 0.62-33.4). A 3.5 mm screw with an optimal entry point can have a maximum deviation angle of 3.23 ± 0.07, 2.70 ± 0.06 and 2.37 ± 0.10 degrees in a proximal, dorsal and palmar direction respectively, prior to violating one of the cortical surfaces. CONCLUSION Procedures performed using the 3D guides have a high degree of accuracy, with minimal mean deviations (<1 mm and <1 degree) of a VSP compared with those using the conventional aiming device. The use of VSP and the HD for evaluation of orthopaedic surgeries and outcome measures shows promise for simplifying and improving surgical accuracy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Utilization of 3D-printed patient-specific surgical guides is a promising navigation approach for orthopedic surgery. However, navigation errors can arise if the guide is not correctly positioned at the planned bone location, compromising the surgical outcome. Quantitative measurements of guide positioning errors are rarely reported and have never been related to guide design and underlying bone anatomy. In this study, the positioning accuracy of a standard and an extended guide design with lateral extension is evaluated at different fitting locations (distal, mid-shaft and proximal) on the volar side of the radius. METHODS Four operators placed the surgical guides on 3D-printed radius models obtained from the CT scans of six patients. For each radius model, every operator positioned two guide designs on the three fitting locations. The residual positioning error was quantified with a CT-based image analysis method in terms of the mean target registration error (mTRE), total translation error ([Formula: see text]) and total rotation error ([Formula: see text]) by comparing the actual guide position with the preoperatively planned position. Three generalized linear regression models were constructed to evaluate if the fitting location and the guide design affected mTRE, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. RESULTS mTRE, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] were significantly higher for mid-shaft guides ([Formula: see text]) compared to distal guides. The guide extension significantly improved the target registration and translational accuracy in all the volar radius locations ([Formula: see text]). However, in the mid-shaft region, the guide extension yielded an increased total rotational error ([Formula: see text]). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that positioning accuracy depends on the fitting location and on the guide design. In distal and proximal radial regions, the accuracy of guides with lateral extension is higher than standard guides and is therefore recommended for future use.

Abstract
This paper presents a generalized integrated framework of semi-automatic surgical template design. Several algorithms were implemented including the mesh segmentation, offset surface generation, collision detection, ruled surface generation, etc., and a special software named TemDesigner was developed. With a simple user interface, a customized template can be semi- automatically designed according to the preoperative plan. Firstly, mesh segmentation with signed scalar of vertex is utilized to partition the inner surface from the input surface mesh based on the indicated point loop. Then, the offset surface of the inner surface is obtained through contouring the distance field of the inner surface, and segmented to generate the outer surface. Ruled surface is employed to connect inner and outer surfaces. Finally, drilling tubes are generated according to the preoperative plan through collision detection and merging. It has been applied to the template design for various kinds of surgeries, including oral implantology, cervical pedicle screw insertion, iliosacral screw insertion and osteotomy, demonstrating the efficiency, functionality and generality of our method.

Abstract
PURPOSE An accurate fit of a patient-specific instrument guide during an intervention is one of the critical factors affecting accuracy of the surgical procedure. In this study, we investigated how well osteophytes, which are abnormal bone growths that form along joints, are depicted in clinical preoperative CT scans and estimated the influence of such depiction errors on the intraoperative accuracy of the guide. METHODS In 34 hip resurfacing patients, 227 osteophyte surface points on the anterior aspect of the femoral neck were collected intraoperatively, using an optoelectronic navigation system. These points were registered to a preoperative CT scan of the patient, and distances between collected points and segmented virtual bone surface, as well as Hounsfield units for these points, were determined. We simulated the registration error of a patient-specific guide, using a modified registration algorithm, to test placement on the anterior aspect of the femoral neck without removing any osteophytes. This error was then applied to the surgical plan of the femoral central-pin position and orientation for evaluation. RESULTS The average distance between the collected points and the segmented surface was 2.6 mm. We estimated the average error for the entrance point of the central-pin to be 0.7 mm in the distal direction and 3.2 mm in the anterior direction. The average orientation error was 2.8° in anteversion. CONCLUSIONS The depiction of osteophytes in clinical preoperative CT scans for proximal femurs can be unreliable and can possibly result in significant intraoperative instrument alignment errors during image-guided surgeries.

Abstract
Pelvic bone tumor resection is challenging due to complex geometry, limited visibility, and restricted workspace. Accurate resection including a safe margin is required to decrease the risk of local recurrence. This clinical study reports 11 cases of pelvic bone tumor resected by using patient-specific instruments. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to delineate the tumor and computerized tomography to localize it in 3D. Resection planning consisted in desired cutting planes around the tumor including a safe margin. The instruments were designed to fit into unique position on the bony structure and to indicate the desired resection planes. Intraoperatively, instruments were positioned freehand by the surgeon and bone cutting was performed with an oscillating saw. Histopathological analysis of resected specimens showed tumor-free bone resection margins for all cases. Available postoperative computed tomography was registered to preoperative computed tomography to measure location accuracy (minimal distance between an achieved and desired cut planes) and errors on safe margin (minimal distance between the achieved cut planes and the tumor boundary). The location accuracy averaged 2.5 mm. Errors in safe margin averaged −0.8 mm. Instruments described in this study may improve bone tumor surgery within the pelvis by providing good cutting accuracy and clinically acceptable margins.

Abstract
Corrective osteotomies of the distal radius for symptomatic malunion are time-tested procedures that rely on accurate corrections. Patients with combined intra- and extra-articular malunions present a challenging deformity. Virtual planning and patient-specific instruments (PSIs) to transfer the planning into the operating room have been used both to simplify the surgery and to make it more accurate. This report focuses on the clinically achieved accuracy in four patients treated between 2008 and 2012 with virtual planning and PSIs for a combined intra- and extraarticular malunion of the distal radius. The accuracy of the correction is quantified by comparing the virtual three-dimensional (3D) planning model with the postoperative 3D bone model. For the extraarticular malunion the 3D volar tilt, 3D radial inclination and 3D ulnar variance are measured. The volar tilt is undercorrected in all cases with an average of -6 ± 6°. The average difference between the postoperative and planned 3D radial inclination was -1 ± 5°. The average difference between the postoperative and planned 3D ulnar variances is 0 ± 1 mm. For the evaluation of the intraarticular malunion, both the arc method of measurement and distance map measurement are used. The average postoperative maximum gap is 2.1 ± 0.9 mm. The average maximum postoperative step-off is 1.3 ± 0.4 mm. The average distance between the postoperative and planned articular surfaces is 1.1 ± 0.6 mm as determined in the distance map measurement. There is a tendency to achieve higher accuracy as experience builds up, both on the surgeon's side and on the design engineering side. We believe this technology holds the potential to achieve consistent accuracy of very complex corrections.
