Abstract
Background This study was aimed to assess the feasibility and efficacy of 3D printing digital template for treatment of cubitus varus deformity. Methods 32 patients who underwent lateral closing osteotomy were evaluated between January 2018 and January 2020 in this retrospective study. Navigation templates were used in 17 cases, while conventional surgery in 15 cases. The carrying angles before and after surgery, operation time and elbow joint function were compared. Results Navigation templates matched well with the anatomical markers of the lateral humerus. More accurate osteotomy degrees, shorter operation time and less radiation exposure were achieved in the navigation template group (p < 0.05). At the last follow-up time, significant difference was found based on the Bellemore criteria (p = 0.0288). Conclusions The novel navigation template can shorten operation time, improve the lateral closing osteotomy accuracy and improve postoperative elbow joint function.

Abstract
Purpose Three-dimensional printing has evolved into a cost-effective and accessible tool. In orthopedic surgery, creating patient-specific anatomical models and instrumentation improves visualization and surgical accuracy. In pediatric orthopedics, three-dimensional printing reduces operating time, radiation exposure, and blood loss by enhancing surgical efficacy. This review compares outcomes of three-dimensional printing-assisted surgeries with conventional surgeries for upper and lower extremity pediatric surgeries. Methods A complete search of medical literature up to August 2023, using Ovid Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was conducted in compliance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Broad search terms included "pediatrics," "orthopedic," and "3D-printing." Eligible studies were assessed for intraoperative time, blood loss, and fluoroscopy exposure. Results Out of 3299 initially identified articles, 14 articles met inclusion criteria. These studies included 409 pediatric patients, with ages averaging 9.51 years. The majority were retrospective studies (nine), with four prospective and one experimental study. Studies primarily utilized three-dimensional printing for navigation templates and implants. Results showed significant reductions in operative time, blood loss, and radiation exposure with three-dimensional printing. Complication occurrences were generally lower in three-dimensional printing surgeries, but there was no statistical significance. Conclusions Three-dimensional printing is an emerging technology in the field of orthopedics, and it is primarily used for preoperative planning. For pediatric upper and lower extremity surgeries, three-dimensional printing leads to decreased operating room time, decreased intraoperative blood loss, and reduced radiation exposure. Other uses for three-dimensional printing include education, patient communication, the creation of patient-specific instrumentation and implants. Level of evidence Level III.

Abstract
Knee varus (KV) deformity leads to abnormal forces in the different compartments of the joint cavity and abnormal mechanical loading thus leading to knee osteoarthritis (KOA). This study used computer-aided design to create 3-dimensional simulation models of KOA with varying varus angles to analyze stress distribution within the knee joint cavity using finite element analysis for different varus KOA models and to compare intra-articular loads among these models. Additionally, we developed a cartilage loading model of static KV deformity to correlate with dynamic clinical cases of cartilage injury. Different KV angle models were accurately simulated with computer-aided design, and the KV angles were divided into (0°, 3°, 6°, 9°, 12°, 15°, and 18°) 7 knee models, and then processed with finite element software, and the Von-Mises stress distribution and peak values of the cartilage of the femoral condyles, medial tibial plateau, and lateral plateau were obtained by simulating the human body weight in axial loading while performing the static extension position. Finally, intraoperative endoscopy visualization of cartilage injuries in clinical cases corresponding to KV deformity subgroups was combined to find cartilage loading and injury correlations. With increasing varus angle, there was a significant increase in lower limb mechanical axial inward excursion and peak Von-Mises stress in the medial interstitial compartment. Analysis of patients' clinical data demonstrated a significant correlation between varus deformity angle and cartilage damage in the knee, medial plateau, and patellofemoral intercompartment. Larger varus deformity angles could be associated with higher medial cartilage stress loads and increased cartilage damage in the corresponding peak stress area. When the varus angle exceeds 6°, there is an increased risk of cartilage damage, emphasizing the importance of early surgical correction to prevent further deformity and restore knee function.

Virtual Surgical Planning and Patient-Specific Instruments for Correcting Lower Limb Deformities in Pediatric Patients: Preliminary Results from the In-Office 3D Printing Point of Care. J Pers Med 2023; 13:1664. [PMID: 38138890 PMCID: PMC10745053 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13121664] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Virtual reality and 3D printing are transforming orthopedic surgery by enabling personalized three-dimensional (3D) models for surgical planning and Patient-Specific Instruments (PSIs). Hospitals are establishing in-house 3D printing centers to reduce costs and improve patient care. Pediatric orthopedic surgery also benefits from these technologies, enhancing the precision and personalization of treatments. This study presents preliminary results of an In-Office 3D Printing Point of Care (PoC), outlining considerations and challenges in using this program for treating lower limb deformities in pediatric patients through Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) and 3D-printed Patient-Specific Instruments (PSIs). (2) Materials and Methods: Pediatric patients with congenital or acquired lower limb deformities undergoing surgical correction based on VSP, incorporating 3D-printed PSIs when required, were included in this study. The entire process of VSP and 3D printing at the In-Office PoC was illustrated. Data about deformity characteristics, surgical procedures, and outcomes, including the accuracy of angular correction, surgical times, and complications, were reported. (3) Results: In total, 39 bone correction procedures in 29 patients with a mean age of 11.6 ± 4.7 years (range 3.1-18.5 years) were performed according to VSP. Among them, 23 procedures were accomplished with PSIs. Surgeries with PSIs were 45 min shorter, with fewer fluoroscopy shots. Optimal correction was achieved in 37% of procedures, while the remaining cases showed under-corrections (41%) or over-corrections (22%). Major complications were observed in four patients (13.8%). (4) Conclusions: The In-Office 3D Printing Point of Care is becoming an essential tool for planning and executing complex corrections of lower limb deformities, but additional research is needed for optimizing the prediction and accuracy of the achieved corrections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The orthopedic treatment of the stiff clubfoot is challenging for clinicians, and the purpose of this study was to explore the preliminary findings of 3D printing-assisted patient-specific instrument (PSI) osteotomy guide for use in the orthopedic treatment of the stiff clubfoot. MATERIAL AND METHODS There were 20 patients (25 feet) with stiff clubfoot admitted from December 2018 to June 2022, including 13 males (16 feet) and 7 females (9 feet), aged 24-52 years, mean 40.15 years; 8 left feet, 7 right feet, 5 bipedal. All patients underwent triple arthrodesis and were divided into 10 cases (12 feet) in the PSI group (n = 12) and 10 cases (13 feet) in the conventional surgery group (n = 13) according to the surgical approach. The duration of surgery and the number of radiation exposures were recorded in all cases, and the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), and International Congenital Clubfoot Study Group (ICFSG) scoring systems were applied postoperatively to assess the effect of corrective treatment. All measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and differences between groups were determined by Student's t test. All count data between the two groups were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test analysis. RESULTS All 20 patients (25 feet) were followed up for 1 year. No major complications related to osteotomy, such as overcorrection, incomplete correction, or bone nonunion, were observed in the PSI and conventional surgery groups at the final follow-up, and the PSI group had the advantage of shorter operative time (P < 0.01), less radiation exposure (P < 0.01), and higher excellent rate compared with the conventional surgery group. The AOFAS score (P > 0.05) and ICFSG score (P > 0.05) at the last follow-up were not statistically significant in both groups, but the excellent rate at the last follow-up was 91.7% in the PSI group which was significantly higher than that of the conventional surgery group at 76.9%. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of 3D printing-assisted PSI osteotomy guide in orthopedic surgery for stiff clubfoot offers a safe and effective surgical tool for triple joint fusion treatment. This technology simplifies surgical procedures, minimizes intraoperative radiation exposures, reduces surgical time, and enables precise and personalized treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the precision and feasibility of patient-specific instruments (PSI) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) as compared to the traditional free-hand (FRH) approach. METHODS During the period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022, a randomized allocation was used for patients receiving unilateral primary THA to either the PSI or conventional operation group. The placement and size of the PSI were specifically chosen to guide femoral neck resection and prosthesis implantation. The study analyzed component positions and evaluated radiographic and clinical outcomes in 30 patients who received PSI-assisted THAs and 30 patients who received FRH THAs. This study was registered at China Clinical Trial Registry (number: ChiCTR2300072325) on June 9th, 2023. RESULTS The use of PSI in THA resulted in significantly higher precision in achieving the desired component position as compared to the FRH approach. The PSI group showed significantly smaller absolute errors of femoral anteversion (p < 0.001). No significant differences were found in operation time, intra-operative blood loss, hospitalization duration, or time to walk after surgery. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the application of patient-specific instruments in THA provides a simple and reliable solution to enhance the precision of femoral prosthesis placement with high accuracy and feasibility. This study highlights the potential benefits of using the PSI in THA.

Computer-aided Design of Distal Femoral Osteotomy for the Valgus Knee and Effect of Correction Angle on Joint Loading by Finite Element Analysis. Orthop Surg 2022; 14:2904-2913. [PMID: 36151783 PMCID: PMC9627055 DOI: 10.1111/os.13440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Lateral open‐wedge distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) has been used to treat valgus deformity of the knee, with good clinical outcomes. However, there is a lack of biomechanical studies regarding the angle of correction. The objective of this study was to apply computer‐aided design (CAD) for osteotomy planning in a three‐dimensional (3D) anatomical model and to assess the biomechanical differences among the varying correction angles on joint loading by finite element analysis (FEA). Methods To model different angles of lateral open‐wedge DFO correction, the CAD software package Mimics 21.0 was used to accurately simulate the operated knee. The femur was cut to 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, and 10° of varus (equivalent to hip‐knee‐ankle angles of 180°, 178°, 176°, 174°, 172°, and 170°, respectively). The original knee model and the corrected models were processed by FE software. Then, the FE models were subjected to an axial force to obtain the von Mises stress (VMS) and shear stress distributions within the femoral cartilages and menisci. Results Under a compressive load of 740 N, the highest VMS in lateral and medial compartments of the intact knee model was 3.418 and 3.303 MPa. The maximum value of both the VMS and the shear stress in the lateral compartment decreased as the varus angle increased, but the corresponding values in the medial compartment increased. When the hip‐knee‐ankle (HKA) angle was 180°, the VMS in the lateral and medial compartments was balanced (3.418 and 3.303 MPa, respectively). Meanwhile, when the HKA angle was 178° (3.488 and 3.625 MPa, respectively), the shear stress in the lateral and medial compartments was balanced. In addition, the magnitude of change in the stress was significantly higher in the medial compartment (90.9%) than in the lateral compartment (19.3%). Conclusion The optimal correction angle of the valgus knee is close to neutral alignment or slightly varus (0° ‐ 2°). Overcorrection is not recommended, as it can result in a steep increase of the stress within the medial compartment and may accelerate the process of medial compartment OA.

Abstract
Background With increasing requirements for medical effects, and huge differences among individuals, traditional surgical instruments are difficult to meet the patients' growing medical demands. 3D printing is increasingly mature, which connects to medical services critically as well. The patient specific surgical guide plate provides the condition for precision medicine in orthopaedics. Methods In this paper, a systematic review of the orthopedic guide template is presented, where the history of 3D-printing-guided technology, the process of guides, and basic clinical applications of orthopedic guide templates are described. Finally, the limitations of the template and possible future directions are discussed. Results The technology of 3D printing surgical templates is increasingly mature, standard, and intelligent. With the help of guide templates, the surgeon can easily determine the direction and depth of the screw path, and choose the angle and range of osteotomy, increasing the precision, safety, and reliability of the procedure in various types of surgeries. It simplifies the difficult surgical steps and accelerates the growth of young and mid-career physicians. But some problems such as cost, materials, and equipment limit its development. Conclusions In different fields of orthopedics, the use of guide templates can significantly improve surgical accuracy, shorten the surgical time, and reduce intraoperative bleeding and radiation. With the development of 3D printing, the guide template will be standardized and simplified from design to production and use. 3D printing guides will be further sublimated in the application of orthopedics and better serve the patients. The translational potential of this paper Precision, intelligence, and individuation are the future development direction of orthopedics. It is more and more popular as the price of printers falls and materials are developed. In addition, the technology of meta-universe, digital twin, and artificial intelligence have made revolutionary effects on template guides. We aim to summarize recent developments and applications of 3D printing guide templates for engineers and surgeons to develop more accurate and efficient templates.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the preoperative planning of visualized simulative surgery (VSS) and clinical outcomes based on computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D reconstruction for proximal femoral varus osteotomy of DDH. Methods A total of 31 consecutive patients (23 females and 8 males) with DDH who underwent proximal femoral varus osteotomy were retrospectively reviewed between June 2014 and July 2018. Patients were divided into conventional group (n = 15) and VSS group (n = 16) according to different surgical methods. In VSS group, 16 consecutive patients who underwent proximal femoral varus osteotomy were evaluated preoperatively with the aid of VSS. The VSS steps included morphological evaluation of DDH, simulated reconstruction of proximal femoral varus osteotomy, and the implantation of locking compression pediatric hip plate (LCP-PHP). Meanwhile, the osteotomy degrees, surgery time, and radiation exposure were compared between the two groups. Results The average follow-up time was 33.5 months (range, 24 to 46 months). The varus angle for proximal femoral varus osteotomy was 24.2 ± 1.1° in VSS group and 25.1 ± 1.0° in conventional group (P = 0.4974). The surgery time was 31.0 ± 4.5 mins in VSS group and 48.2 ± 7.3 mins in conventional group, while radiography was 5.0 ± 1.5 times in VSS group and 8.3 ± 2.4 times in conventional group. There was a statistical significance in surgery time and radiography (P < 0.0001) when compared with the conventional group. Conclusion The VSS can greatly decrease surgery time and radiation exposure for proximal femoral varus osteotomy, which could also be a tool to train young doctors to improve surgical skills and academic communication.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the current articles to compare the efficacy and safety of 3D navigation-assisted osteotomy of DDH with conventional osteotomy of DDH in children. Study design Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library were searched, from inception to April, 2022, for studies applying 3D navigation-assisted osteotomy in DDH children. METHODS There were 626 articles identified. According to the search strategy and inclusion criteria, 7 studies were finally included, with a total of 288 cases. Study screening, data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted by two reviewers independently. Data analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS There were 7 retrospective cohort studies included. Meta-analysis showed that 3D navigation-assisted DDH osteotomy resulted in shorter duration of surgery [I 2 = 88%, REM, MD = 22.86, 95%CI (-27.29, -18.43), p < 0.00001], less radiation exposure during surgery [I 2 = 53%, REM, MD = 2.76, 95%CI (-3.15, -2.37), p < 0.00001], and less intraoperative bleeding [I 2 = 94%, REM, MD = 26.83, 95%CI (-39.24, -14.41), p < 0.0001], compared with conventional DDH osteotomy. There was a significant difference in the number of patients with McKay clinical function graded as poor between the two groups [I 2 = 0%, FEM, RR = 0.20, 95%CI (0.05, 0.74), p = 0.02], whereas there were no significantly statistical differences in the corrected acetabular index angle, postoperative leg length discrepancy, and number of patients with Severin x-ray graded as poor between the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION 3D navigation-assisted pelvis and thighbone osteotomy for DDH children could shorten duration of surgery and reduce intraoperative bleeding and x-ray exposure, presenting definite therapeutic effect.

J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:495. [PMID: 34389036 PMCID: PMC8362243 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02646-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigates whether three-dimensional (3D) printing-assisted revision total hip/knee arthroplasty could improve its clinical and radiological outcomes and assess the depth and breadth of research conducted on 3D printing-assisted revision total hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS A literature search was carried out on PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. Only studies that investigated 3D printing-assisted revision total hip and knee arthroplasty were included. The author, publication year, study design, number of patients, patients' age, the time of follow-up, surgery category, Coleman score, clinical outcomes measured, clinical outcomes conclusion, radiological outcomes measured, and radiological outcomes conclusion were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS Ten articles were included in our review. Three articles investigated the outcome of revision total knee arthroplasty, and seven investigated the outcome of revision total hip arthroplasty. Two papers compared a 3D printing group with a control group, and the other eight reported 3D printing treatment outcomes alone. Nine articles investigated the clinical outcomes of total hip/knee arthroplasty, and eight studied the radiological outcomes of total hip/knee arthroplasty. CONCLUSION 3D printing is being introduced in revision total hip and knee arthroplasty. Current literature suggests satisfactory clinical and radiological outcomes could be obtained with the assistance of 3D printing. Further long-term follow-up studies are required, particularly focusing on cost-benefit analysis, resource availability, and, importantly, the durability and biomechanics of customized prostheses using 3D printing compared to traditional techniques.

Jud L, Vlachopoulos L, Grob K. Correction of complex three-dimensional deformities at the proximal femur using indirect reduction with angle blade plate and patient-specific instruments: a technical note. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:427. [PMID: 34217344 PMCID: PMC8254345 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02579-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 06/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Corrective osteotomies for complex proximal femoral deformities can be challenging; wherefore, subsidies in preoperative planning and during surgical procedures are considered helpful. Three-dimensional (3D) planning and patient-specific instruments (PSI) are already established in different orthopedic procedures. This study gives an overview on this technique at the proximal femur and proposes a new indirect reduction technique using an angle blade plate. METHODS Using computed tomography (CT) data, 3D models are generated serving for the preoperative 3D planning. Different guides are used for registration of the planning to the intraoperative situation and to perform the desired osteotomies with the following reduction task. A new valuable tool to perform the correction is the use of a combined osteotomy and implant-positioning guide, with indirect deformity reduction over an angle blade plate. RESULTS An overview of the advantages of 3D planning and the use of PSI in complex corrective osteotomies at the proximal femur is provided. Furthermore, a new technique with indirect deformity reduction over an angle blade plate is introduced. CONCLUSION Using 3D planning and PSI for complex corrective osteotomies at the proximal femur can be a useful tool in understanding the individual deformity and performing the aimed deformity reduction. The indirect reduction over the implant is a simple and valuable tool in achieving the desired correction, and concurrently, surgical exposure can be limited to a subvastus approach.

Efficacy Evaluation of 3D Navigational Template for Salter Osteotomy of DDH in Children. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 2021:8832617. [PMID: 34124261 PMCID: PMC8166498 DOI: 10.1155/2021/8832617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2020] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Background The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy of 3D navigational template for Salter osteotomy of DDH in children. Methods Thirty-two consecutive patients with DDH who underwent Salter osteotomy were evaluated between July 2014 and August 2017, and they were divided into the conventional group (n = 16) and navigation template group (n = 16) according to different surgical methods. The corrective acetabular degrees, radiation exposure, and operation time were compared between the two groups. Results No nerve palsy or redislocation was reported in the navigation template group. Compared with the conventional group, the navigation template group had the advantages of more accurate acetabular degrees, less radiation exposure, and shorter operation time (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the navigation template group achieved a better surgical outcome than the conventional group (McKay, P = 0.0293; Severin, P = 0.0949). Conclusions The 3D navigational template for Salter osteotomy of DDH is simple and effective, which could be an alternative approach to improve the Salter osteotomy accuracy and optimize the efficacy.

Abstract
Background The paediatric patient population has considerable variation in anatomy. The use of Computed Tomography (CT)-based digital models to design three-dimensionally printed patient specific instrumentation (PSI) has recently been applied for correction of deformity in orthopedic surgery. This review sought to determine the existing application of this technology currently in use within paediatric orthopaedics, and assess the potential benefits that this may provide to patients and surgeons. Methods A review was performed of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL for published literature, as well as Web of Science and clinicaltrials.gov for grey literature. The search strategy revolved around the research question: “What is the clinical impact of using 3D printed PSI for proximal femoral or pelvic osteotomy in paediatric orthopaedics?” Two reviewers, using predetermined inclusion criteria, independently performed title and abstract review in order to select articles for full text review. Data extracted included effect on operating time and intraoperative image use, as well as osteotomy and screw positioning accuracy. Data were combined in a narrative synthesis; meta-analysis was not performed given the diversity of study designs and interventions. Results In total, ten studies were included: six case control studies, three case series and a case report. Five studies directly compared operating time using PSI to conventional techniques, with two showing a significant decrease in the number of intraoperative images and operative time. Eight studies reported improved accuracy in executing the surgical plan compared to conventional methods. Conclusion Compared to conventional methods of performing femoral or pelvic osteotomy, use of PSI has led to improved accuracy and precision, decreased procedure times, and decreased intra-operative imaging requirements. Additionally, the technology has become more cost effective and accessible since its initial inception and use.
