3D planning and patient-specific surgical guides in forearm osteotomy in children: Radiographic accuracy and clinical morbidity - 27/09/22
Abstract |
Introduction |
Three-dimensional (3D) planning and patient-specific surgical guides are increasingly used in the treatment of skeletal deformities. The present study hypothesis was that they are reliable in forearm osteotomy in children, with low morbidity.
Material and methods |
Twenty-there children with one or several osteotomies to correct forearm deformities were retrospectively included: 9 (20 osteotomies) with surgical guide (G+), and 14 (28 osteotomies) without (G-). Etiologies comprised 8 cases of Madelung disease (3G+, 5G−) and 15 of post-traumatic malunion (6G+, 9G−). Mean age at surgery was 14.8±1.9 years. The patient-specific 3D-printed polyamide guides were produced from 3D virtual models based on 3D CT reconstruction. Mean follow-up was 22.1±13.6 months.
Results |
Mean correction error was 5.3°±4.1 and 4.2°±4.1 in the frontal and sagittal planes respectively in G+ (p=0.6). Surgery time was significantly shorter in G+, by a mean 42min (p=0.02). Mean total radiation dose (preoperative CT+intraoperative fluoroscopy) was significantly higher in G+ (p<0.0001). Complications rates were similar between groups. Improvement in PRWE score was significantly greater in G+.
Conclusion |
The present preliminary results were encouraging. 3D planning and patient-specific surgical guides can be used in the treatment of forearm deformity in children.
Level of evidence |
III; retrospective cohort study.
