Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of 3D-printed Patient-Specific Instruments (PSI) has been investigated to enhance the postoperative functional results in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and has been recognized as an innovative approach for the optimal alignment of hip implant components. Point-of-care production is gradually becoming the norm for PSI manufacturing. The purpose of this article is to assess the accuracy and safety of PSI for total hip arthroplasty performed at the point-of-care in Vietnam. METHODS 34 THA cases were assessed in this prospective study. A template for the size and orientation of the implant and the design of the PSI was generated using data from preoperative 3D computed tomography (CT) scanning of the lower limb. The principal surgeon determined the implants' position and PSI design directly using the software. The PSI is then produced using a 3D-compatible resin printer in our manufacturing hospital. The PSI, consisting of an acetabulum and a femoral component placed press-fit on the bony surface, guided surgeons to precisely ream the acetabulum and cut the femoral neck according to the pre-planned plane. Postoperative CT scanning was obtained and superimposed onto the 3D model of the implant to evaluate the accuracy of the procedure by comparing the orientation values of the cup and the alignment of the stem between the planned and the actual results. Intra- and postoperative clinical parameters of surgery, including surgical time, intra-operative blood loss, complications, and the first ambulation, were also recorded to evaluate the safety of the surgery. RESULTS The preparation for PSI required an average of 3 days. 94% of cup size and 91% of stem size were correctly selected. The mean values of postoperative inclination and anteversion were 44.2° ± 4.1° and 19.2° ± 5.6°, respectively. 64.7% of cases deviated from planned within the ± 50 range and 94.1% within the ± 10° range. There was no significant statistical difference between the planned and the achieved values of stem anteversion, osteotomy height, and leg length discrepancy (p > 0.05). The average surgical time was 82.5° ± 10.8 min, and the intraoperative blood loss was estimated at 317.7° ± 57.6 ml. 64.7% of patients could walk on the day of surgery. There were no complications reported. CONCLUSIONS The point-of-care manufactured PSI is a useful solution for improving the accuracy of total hip arthroplasty surgery, especially in restoring implant orientation and reducing leg length discrepancy. However, long-term clinical follow-up evaluation is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of this approach.

Abstract
Background In kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA), the cylindrical axis (CA) is very important in restoring the native joint line and kinematics of the pre-arthritic knee. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of patient-specific instrument (PSI) for restoring the CA for femoral bone resection in KA-TKA. Methods Thirty KA-TKAs were performed using a computed tomography (CT)-based PSI system. Data from preoperative CT were reconstructed into three-dimensional (3D) models using 3D-planning software. The CA was created by connecting the centers of each virtual sphere to the medial and lateral femoral condyles using computer software. Femoral bone resection of the distal and posterior condyles was performed parallel to the sagittal planes of the CA. The thickness of the CA-referenced bone resection was determined based on the thickness necessary for the respective regions of the femoral component. The PSI was manufactured to locate the guide pin for a conventional cutting block. The accuracy of PSI for KA-TKA was evaluated as the absolute error between the preoperatively predicted thickness and the intraoperative measurements in each of the four regions, as well as the difference in error between distal-medial (DM) and posterior-medial (PM) and between distal-lateral (DL) and posterior-lateral (PL). Results The differences in thickness of bone cut in the DM, DL, PM, and PL were 0.79 ± 0.39 mm (range, -1.20 to 1.50), 0.70 ± 0.42 mm (range, -1.50 to 1.50), 0.80 ± 0.46 mm (range, -0.80 to 1.50), and 0.75 ± 0.47 mm (range, -2.10 to 1.40), respectively. There was no significant difference in the thickness error between DM and PM (p = 0.959) and between DL and PL (p = 0.812). Conclusions In KA-TKA, PSI was effective for accurate femoral bone resection based on virtually planned thickness.

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.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has proven to have many advantages in spine and sacrum surgery. 3D printing allows the manufacturing of life-size patient-specific anatomic and pathologic models to improve preoperative understanding of patient anatomy and pathology. Additionally, virtual surgical planning using medical computer-aided design software has enabled surgeons to create patient-specific surgical plans and simulate procedures in a virtual environment. This has resulted in reduced operative times, decreased complications, and improved patient outcomes. Combined with new surgical techniques, 3D-printed custom medical devices and instruments using titanium and biocompatible resins and polyamides have allowed innovative reconstructions.

Abstract
Background Computer-assisted preoperative planning, combined with PSI has become an effective technique for treating complex limb deformities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the novel technique in corrective osteotomy for intra-articular varus ankle deformities associated with osteoarthritis and ankle instability. Methods Nineteen patients with intra-articular varus ankle arthritis were reviewed between April 2017 and June 2019, including ten men and nine women with a mean age of 58.3 ± 9.9 years (range, 38 to 76 years). All patients underwent intra-articular opening wedge osteotomy assisted by 3D virtual planning and PSI. Weight-bearing radiographs were used to assess the radiographic results, including TAS angle, TT angle, TMM angle, TC angle, TLS angle, opening-wedge angle, and wedge height. Functional outcomes were assessed by the AOFAS score, VAS score, and ROM of the ankle. Results The average follow-up time was 32.2 ± 9.0 months (range, 22 to 47 months). The average union time was 4.4 ± 0.9 months (range, 3.0 to 6.5 months). The TAS angle significantly changed from 84.1 ± 4.6° preoperatively to 87.7 ± 3.1° at the 1-year follow-up and 86.2 ± 2.6° at the latest follow-up. Similarly, the TT angle, TMM angle and TC angle changed significantly at the 1-year follow-up compared with the preoperative assessment and remained stable until the last follow-up. However, the TLS was not corrected significantly. The postoperative obtained opening-wedge angle, and wedge height showed no significant change with preoperative planning. The overall complication rate was 15.8%. The mean VAS score improved from 5.3 ± 0.6 to 2.7 ± 0.7. The mean AOFAS score improved from 56.2 ± 7.6 to 80.6 ± 4.6. However, the ROM showed no significant change. Conclusions Accurate correction and satisfactory functional recovery were attained with computer-assisted planning and PSI in the corrective osteotomy of intra-articular varus ankle deformities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) is an effective surgical treatment for knee osteoarthritis. This study aimed to explore the feasibility and accuracy of a novel 3D-printed patient-specific instrument (PSI) based on "H-point" for medial OWHTO in a prospective cadaver study. METHODS Twenty-six fresh-frozen lower limbs were collected and randomly divided into two groups: PSI group treated with 3D virtual preoperative planning and a novel 3D-printed PSI; control group with the standard technique. 3D models were reversely reconstructed for preoperative surgical planning, guide plate design, and simulated osteotomy. Anatomic features of "H-point," surgical time, fluoroscopic dose, correction accuracy including tibiofemoral angle (FTA) and posterior tibial slope (TS) angle were measured. RESULTS First, H-point was always described as a bony bulge in the posteromedial to the proximal tibia and had a relatively constant relationship with the osteotomy site. Second, the absolute correction error of mFTA and TS were significantly smaller in the PSI group. The effective rate of TS in the PSI group was more concentrated with absolute correction error within 1° and within 2° for 53.3% and 93.3%, compared to 9.1% and 45.5% in the control group. The total operation time, positioning osteotomy time, distraction correction time and fluoroscopy dose in the PSI group were significantly less than those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS The novel 3D-printed PSI based on H-point is feasibility and accuracy with advantages in terms of TS, surgery time and radiation dose for OWHTO.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intra-articular fractures are associated with posttraumatic arthritis if inappropriately treated. Exact reduction of the joint congruency is the main factor to avoid the development of arthrosis. Aim of this study was to evaluate feasibility of computer-assisted surgical planning and 3D-printed patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) for treatment of distal intraarticular radius fractures. METHOD 7 Patients who suffered a distal intraarticular radius fracture were enrolled in this prospective case series. Preoperative CT-scan was recorded, whereupon a 3D model was computed for surgical planning and design of PSI for surgical navigation. Postoperative accuracy and joint congruency were assessed. Patients were followed-up 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS Mean follow-up was 16 months. Over all range of motion was restored and flexion, extension and pronation showed significant recovery, p < 0.05. Biggest intraarticular joint step-off and gap reduced from average 2.49 (± 1.04) to 0.8 mm (± 0.44), p < 0.05 and 6.12 mm (± 1.04) to 2.21 mm (± 1.16), p < 0.05. Average grip strength restored (3-16 months) from 20.33 kg (± 7.12) to 39.3 kg (± 19.55) p < 0.05, 100% of the healthy contralateral side. 3D-accuracy for guided fragments was 2.07 mm (± 0.64) and 8.59° (± 2.9) and 2.33 mm (± 0.69) and 12.86° (± 7.13), p > 0.05 for fragments reduced with ligamentotaxis. CONCLUSION Computer-assisted and PSI navigated intraarticular radius fracture treatment is feasible, safe and accurate. The benefits of this method, however, do not outstand the additional effort.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the perioperative blood loss in patients undergoing a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) across three different techniques: computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS), patient specific instrumentation (PSI) and conventional instrumentation (CI). Methods: Ninety consecutive patients with severe knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral primary TKA in Peking University Third Hospital Orthopedics Department from January 2018 to December 2018 were enrolled in this prospective study. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (30 case in each group): CAS-TKA group, PSI-TKA group and CI-TKA group. The study measured intraoperative blood loss, total blood loss, hidden blood loss, decreases of hemoglobin and hematocrit, and the post-TKA blood transfusions in the three groups. One-way ANOVA was used to detect the differences among the cohorts, and LSD was used for the post-hoc test. Results: The overall intraoperative blood loss of all patients was 6 ml (5~8 ml). The mean total blood loss and hidden blood loss in CAS-TKA group, PSI-TKA group and CI-TKA group was (1 147.0±301.8) and (1 140.1±301.9)ml, (1 044.3±454.1) and (1 038.5±454.0)ml, (1 154.0±483.6) and (1 145.3±482.7)ml, respectively; there was no significant differences among the three groups (F=0.639, 0.616, both P>0.05). There were no patients who received allogeneic blood transfusion. There were no significant differences in decrease of hemoglobin and hematocrit among the three groups neither (both P>0.05). Conclusions: Compared with conventional TKA, CAS and PSI does not increase the total blood loss of TKA. However, they both demonstrate a potential benefit in reducing blood loss of TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Unsatisfactory alignment in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is one potential cause of postoperative failure. Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) are designed to improve the alignment of the prostheses, but the effect of PSIs on the alignment or clinical outcome is controversial and lacks validated evidence. We conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review to determine the effect of PSIs on UKA outcomes for the first time. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CNKI (Chinese database) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (up to June 2019) was performed to collect studies that compared PSIs with conventional instruments. Two reviewers independently screened all the records on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality assessments with Cochrane's quality assessment tool or Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) were conducted, the data were extracted, and statistical analyses were completed. RESULTS Ten studies with 444 knees were included. The meta-analysis confirmed that PSIs contributed to reduced errors in the alignment of the femoral compartment in the sagittal plane (mean difference = - 2.53, CI [- 3.14, - 1.99], P < 0.01) and the tibial compartment in both the coronal (mean difference = - 0.97, CI [- 1.44, - 0.49], P < 0.01) and the sagittal plane (mean difference = - 1.29, CI [- 1.81, - 0.76], P < 0.01). One study supported that PSIs reduced outliers in inexperienced surgeons; however, all studies investigating PSIs among experienced surgeons suggested that PSIs cannot reduce the percentage of outliers. There was no significant difference in the postoperative score (mean difference = - 0.06, CI [- 0.36, 0.23], P = 0.68) or rate of complications (RR = 1.02, CI [0.15, 6.79], P = 0.99) between PSIs and conventional instruments. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest PSIs could not reduce the percentage of outliers in UKA patients for experts, and postoperative scores and complication rates are not improved by PSIs, compared with conventional instruments. Based on this meta-analysis and systematic review, no practical benefit to UKAs in experts was detected in PSIs. The findings of this study also suggest that PSIs improved alignment of UKA and might be beneficial to inexperienced surgeons, but it is still unclear whether this improvement is clinically significant and the evidence of inexperienced surgeons is limited. Therefore, more high-quality RCTs are need to be carried out in the future.

Abstract
Background Traditional methods for minimally invasive internal fixation (MIIF) of calcaneal fractures require extensive intraoperative fluoroscopy, and fracture recovery is usually not ideal. We developed a new surgical procedure using digital surgical simulation and constructed a patient-specific instrument (PSI) for calcaneal fracture that we used during the operation. This study investigated whether PSI-assisted MIIF of calcaneal fracture enables rapid and accurate execution of the preoperative plan. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with Sanders type III or IV fresh calcaneal fractures who had undergone PSI-assisted MIIF at our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018. We analyzed perioperative data including intraoperative fluoroscopy time, concurrence of internal fixation actual usage (IFAU) with the preoperative plan, surgery time, and complications. We also compared pre- and postoperative actual measurements from X-ray radiographs and computed tomography images including Böhler, Gissane, and calcaneus valgus angles; subtalar joint width; and calcaneal volume overlap ratio with the preoperative design. All patients had been followed up and their American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) score was available. Results Mean intraoperative fluoroscopy time was 3.95 ± 1.78 h; IFAU in 16 patients (16 ft) was the same as the preoperative plan; mean surgery time was 28.16 ± 10.70 min; and none of the patients developed complications. Böhler, Gissane, and calcaneus valgus angles and subtalar joint width did not differ between pre- and postoperative plans; however, the actual preoperative values of each of these parameters differed significantly from those measured postoperatively. The calcaneal volume overlap ratio with the preoperative design was 91.2% ± 2.3%. AOFAS scores increased with time, with significant differences in the score at each time point. Conclusions The newly developed PSI-assisted calcaneal fracture MIIF method can rapidly and accurately execute the preoperative plan.

Abstract
PURPOSE To create a patient-specific instrument (PSI) in lowering the surgical experience requirement for junior physicians to perform total hip arthroplasty (THA) on developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients. METHODS Combined with rapid prototyping technology, we created a PSI and established DDH hip model in vitro. We enrolled 48 junior physicians and randomly assigned them into two groups. After creation of the PSI, they performed simulated THA surgery on a full-scale hip model with or without PSI on DDH models. The planned prothesis orientation, post-operative prothesis orientation, and surgery time were recorded. RESULTS The final cup inclination was 42.0 ± 0.8° in PSI group and 37.8 ± 2.0° in control group, while final cup anteversion was 16.0 ± 0.7° in PSI group and 24.7 ± 3.5° in control group. The △inclination in PSI group was smaller than that in control group (4.2 ± 0.5° vs 9.5 ± 1.4°, P < 0.01), so does △inclination (2.9 ± 0.4° in PSI group vs 15.2 ± 2.5° in control group, P < 0.01). The outlier percent was 8.3% in PSI group and 70.8% in control group (P < 0.01). At the same time, the PSI group did not prolong the operation time (P = 0.551). CONCLUSION The PSI can greatly increase the accuracy of placing the cup orientation and lower the threshold for junior physicians to perform THA on DDH patients. It could be a training tool for them to increase their THA surgical skills.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limb salvage surgery for pelvic bone sarcoma carries a very high risk of local recurrence. Patient-specific instruments (PSIs) have shown promise for obtaining tumour-free resection margins. However, no data are available on medium-term outcomes including local recurrence rates after PSI-guided resection. The objectives of this case-control study were to determine whether PSI-guided resection: 1) was associated with a lower local recurrence rate, 2) allowed a shorter operative time, 3) was associated with better-quality allograft reconstruction. HYPOTHESIS PSI-guided resection decreases the local recurrence rate by improving the resection margins in patients with primary pelvic bone sarcomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS PSI-guided resection was performed in 9 consecutive patients (cases) with primary pelvic sarcomas (chondrosarcoma, n=3; Ewing's sarcoma, n=3; osteosarcoma, n=1; fibrosarcoma, n=1; and radiation-induced sarcoma, n=1). Age ranged from 11 to 63 years. Outcomes were compared to those in a historical control group of 19 patients with primary bone sarcomas who underwent resection surgery in the same hospital without PSI guidance. The case and control groups were similar regarding age, sex distribution, and follow-up duration. The local recurrence rate and operative time were compared between the two groups. Resection margins were classified as R0, R1, or R2. The quality of allograft reconstruction, which was performed in 7 of the 9 cases, was assessed. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of 52 months (range, 30-90 months), none of the cases had experienced local bone or soft-tissue recurrences, compared to 7 of the 19 controls (p=0.03), in whom mean follow-up was 62 months (range, 24-134 months). Bone resection margins were R0 in 8 cases; in the remaining patient, R1 resection was performed deliberately to preserve an S1 root. All 9 cases had R0 soft-tissue resection margins. In the control group, bone resection margins were R0 in 13 patients, R1 in 5 patients, and R2 in 1 patient (p=0.47). Mean operative time was similar in the cases (612 minutes [range, 435-854 minutes]) and controls (633 minutes [range, 420-990 minutes]) (p=0.87). In the 7 patients who underwent pelvic allograft reconstruction, allograft contact in the defect and osteosynthesis stability were deemed satisfactory by the surgeon. DISCUSSION The lower local recurrence rate in the cases demonstrates that the improved resection accuracy provided by PSIs directly influences the risk of local recurrence. In addition, the R0 bone margins in 8 cases establishes that PSIs are effective in improving resection accuracy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, case-control study.

Abstract
Background It is challenging to create an ideal artificial acetabulum during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in adult DDH. Our team developed a new patient-specific instrument (PSI) that uses the superolateral rim of the acetabulum as a positioning mark to assist in the production of an artificial acetabulum in adult Crowe II/III DDH patients. The purpose of this retrospective study is to verify whether this new PSI can be used to implement the preoperative plan accurately and quickly to create an ideal artificial acetabulum during THA in adult Crowe II/III DDH patients. Methods We selected suitable adult Crowe II/III DDH patients from the registration system for artificial joint surgery at our hospital during April 2016 to March 2018 who underwent THA assisted by a PSI using the superolateral rim of the acetabulum as a positioning mark. We retrospectively analyzed data, including preoperative and postoperative anteversion, inclination, postoperative bilateral rotator center discrepancy (BRCD), surgery time, and the incidence of neurovascular injury. All patients underwent follow-up, and their Harris hip score (HHS) and X-ray data were recorded. Then, we performed statistical analyses on the data described above. Results A total of 20 hip surgeries from 17 patients were included in our study. All patients underwent a successful operation assisted by the PSI. The mean anteversion of the cup in our preoperative plan was 15.1° (range, 10.0° to 20.0°), while the mean postoperative anteversion of the cup was 15.3° (range, 7.0° to 28.6°). The mean inclination of the cup in our preoperative plan was 44.7° (range, 40.0° to 50.0°), while the mean postoperative inclination of the cup was 45.6° (range, 35.0° to 57.6°). Paired-samples t test revealed no significant differences in anteversion and inclination between pre- and postoperation times (P > 0.05). The mean BRCD was 3.38 ± 3.0 mm (range, 0.5 to 11.0 mm). The average operation time was 105.1 ± 15.4 min, and no patients had neurovascular injury complications. All patients’ acetabular components appeared clinically and radiologically stable after surgery. The mean HHS values were significantly improved at 12 weeks (P < 0.05) and 24 weeks (P < 0.05) postoperatively compared to the preoperative mean scores. Conclusions The new PSI is accurate and practical to create an ideal artificial acetabulum during THA in adult Crowe II/III DDH patients.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the surgical time and postoperative coronal mechanical axis alignment in patients with osteoarthritis who were treated with three different total knee arthroplasty (TKA) techniques: computer-assisted navigation surgery (CAS), patient specific instrumentation(PSI) and traditional instrumentation. Methods: A total of 96 patients with severe knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral primary TKA by the same surgeon were included in this retrospective study.The patients were divided into CAS-TKA group (34 patients), PSI-TKA group (29 patients) and control group (33 patients) based on surgical techniques used in the operations.The surgical time and postoperative coronal mechanical axis alignment were compared between the three groups.One-way ANOVA was used to detect the differences between three groups, and LSD test was used for the post-hoc test. Results: The overall mean surgical time of the patients was (79±16) min.CAS-TKA group had significantly longer surgical time when compared with those in the other two groups [CAS-TKA vs PSI-TKA: (90±10) min vs (80±14) min, LSD-t=3.458, P<0.05; CAS-TKA vs control: (90±10) min vs (66±11) min, LSD-t=8.350, P<0.05; PSI-TKA vs control: (80±14) min vs (66±11) min, LSD-t=4.582, P<0.05]. The overall mean postoperative coronal mechanical alignment varus/valgus deformity was 2.4° and 2.0°, respectively.The overall outliers (varus/valgus>3°) represented 22.9% of cases and were distributed as followed: 11.8% in CAS-TKA group, 27.6% in PSI-TKA group, 30.3% in control group; and no significant differences was found among the three groups (χ(2)=3.771, P=0.151). Conclusions: The use of CAS or PSI in TKA costs a significant longer surgical time.These two techniques results in acceptable postoperative coronal alignment and both demonstrated a potential benefit in reducing outliers when compared with the traditional instruments.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal tumours pose considerable challenges for the orthopaedic surgeon during pre-operative planning, resection and reconstruction. Improvements in imaging technology have improved the diagnostic process of these tumours. Despite this, studies have highlighted the difficulties in achieving consistent resection free margins especially in tumours of the pelvis and spine when using conventional methods. Three-dimensional technology - three-dimensional printing and navigation technology - while relatively new, may have the potential to prove useful in the musculoskeletal tumour surgeon's arsenal. Three-dimensional printing (3DP) allows the production of objects by adding material layer by layer rather than subtraction from raw materials as performed conventionally. High resolution imaging, computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are used to print highly complex and accurate items. Powder-based printing, vat polymerization-based printing and droplet-based printing are the common 3DP technologies applied. 3DP has been utilized pre-operatively in surgical planning and intra-operatively for patient specific instruments and custom made prosthesis. Pre-operative 3DP models transfer information to the surgeon in a concise yet exhaustive manner. Patient specific instruments are customized 3DP instruments utilized with the intention to easily replicate surgical plans. Complex musculoskeletal tumours pose reconstructive challenges and standard implants are often unable to reconstruct defects satisfactorily. The ability to use custom materials and tailor the pore size, elastic modulus and porosity of the 3DP prosthesis to be comparable to the patient's bone allows for a potential patient-specific prosthesis with unique incorporation and longevity properties. Similarly, navigation technology utilizes CT or MRI images to provides surgeons with real time intraoperative three-dimensional calibration of instruments. It has been shown to potentially allow surgeons to perform more accurate resections. These technological advancements have the potential to greatly impact the management of musculoskeletal tumours. 3D planning models, patient-specific instruments and customized 3DP implants and navigation should not be thought of as separate, but rather, patient-specific adaptation of relevant modes of application should be selected on a case-by-case basis when taking all unique factors of each case into consideration.

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
BACKGROUND Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) is attracting attention as a mechanical method of ensuring the accuracy of osteotomy during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Few studies have focused on preoperative plans; thus, it is unclear how often initial plans have to be corrected preoperatively and intraoperatively. We investigated the frequency of corrections, the accuracy of intraoperative osteotomy, and postoperative alignment. METHODS We analyzed 45 knees of 40 patients who underwent TKA using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based PSI. We evaluated the frequency of corrections to preoperative plans and intraoperative corrections for each part. We also evaluated osteotomy error, defined as the difference between the planned and actual thickness of resected bone. Hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), femoral component angle (FCA), and tibial component angle (TCA) on plain X-rays were evaluated for postoperative alignment. RESULTS Corrections were made to the initial plans in 91.1% of cases with a mean of 3.3 corrections per knee. Intraoperative corrections were made in 57.8% of cases, with a mean of 0.6 corrections per knee. Mean absolute osteotomy error was around one millimeter, and values were within two millimeters over 80% of cases on most parts except the proximal lateral tibia. In terms of postoperative alignment, HKA was 178.5±1.7°, FCA was 89.0±1.6°, and TCA was 89.4±1.9°. Proportions of outliers were 11.1%, 15.6%, and 20.0%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Most of the cases required preoperative corrections for planning of PSI. PSI may be useful for ensuring the accuracy of osteotomy and postoperative alignment.

Abstract
PURPOSE A 24-month prospective follow-up study was carried out to compare perioperative clinical outcomes, radiographic limb alignment, component positioning, as well as functional outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and conventional instrumentation (CI). METHODS Ninety consecutive patients, satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, were scheduled to undergo TKA with either PSI or CI. A CT-based PSI was used in this study, and a senior surgeon performed all surgeries. Patients were clinically and functionally assessed preoperatively, 6 and 24 months post-operatively. Perioperative outcomes were also analysed, including operating time, haemoglobin loss, the need for blood transfusion, length of hospitalisation, and radiographic features. RESULTS At 24-month follow-up, clinical and functional outcomes were comparable between the two groups. PSI performed no better than CI in restoring lower limb mechanical alignment or improving component positioning. There were no differences in operating time, haemoglobin loss, transfusion rate, or length of hospitalisation between PSI and CI. CONCLUSION No significant clinical benefit could be demonstrated in using PSI over CI after 24 months, and routine use of PSI is not recommended in non-complicated TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to determine if the difference in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based 2nd generation patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) design affects post-operative restoration of neutral mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) compared with the 1st generation PSI design and conventional surgical techniques. In addition, it is aimed at elucidating whether PSI improves surgical efficiency with respect to operating room time, estimated blood loss and the number of instrument trays used intra-operatively. MATERIALS AND METHODS We report our experience in TKA using PSI techniques in 234 patients from August 2012 to March 2015. The patients were divided into 1st (n = 64) and 2nd (n = 70) generation PSI design. The control group (n = 100) underwent TKA with the conventional instrument technique. RESULTS The mean surgical time was significantly shorter in the 2nd generation PSI design (62.1 ± 12.1 min) than in the control group (80.6 ± 21.7 min; P < 0.001). A mechanical axis malalignment of >3° of the lower limb was observed in 5.7% of the patients in 2nd generation PSI design compared with 26.0% of the control group (P = 0.006). No significant difference in mechanical alignment on post-operative long alignment radiography was found between 20.3% of the patients in 1st generation PSI design and the control group (P = 0.584). CONCLUSION The 1st generation PSI design did not have a shorter surgical time or improved alignment compared with conventional instrumentation (CI). However, the use of the perfectly fitted 2nd generation PSI design was associated with improvements in both of these measurements. This study emphasizes the importance of PSI design in intra-operative and post-operative outcomes of TKA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital tarsal coalition resection in adolescents may be hindered by the complex three-dimensional anatomy of the talocalcaneal joint. Peroperative fluoroscopy is not greatly contributive, especially for talocalcaneal coalition. HYPOTHESIS 3D planning and patient-specific instruments facilitate the procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS A made-to-measure surgical guide (patient-specific instrument) was used in 9 consecutive patients for tarsal coalition resection (7 talocalcaneal and 2 calcaneonavicular coalitions). The guide was created by 3D modeling from the CT scan of the foot. Placed on the bone surface, it oriented the saw blade to resect the bone bridge at the appropriate depth. A fascia lata allograft was interposed. Complete resection and absence of recurrence were checked on postoperative CT in talocalcaneal and on radiography in calcaneonavicular coalitions. RESULTS Resection was complete in all cases, with no recurrence at last follow-up. DISCUSSION This technique makes tarsal coalition resection easier and more reliable and may be recommended to improve precision. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, prospective study of a new surgical technique.
