THE EFFECT OF THE ONE SIZE PATIENT MODEL CREATED BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING TECHNOLOGY IN ACETABULUM FRACTURES ON FRACTURE CLASSIFICATION AND SURGERY PLANNING
Project no. 20993 · Status: Kapanmış (Yayın bekleniyor) · 2020
Summary
<p>Treatment of acetabular fractures is very difficult due to extensive damage to the cartilage structure of the hip joint, subchondral bone and soft tissue. No matter how advanced the radiological examination is, the extent of the fracture can only be shown with three-dimensional modeling due to the overlapping of the fracture lines. This project will enable orthopedists to define fracture characteristics and better understand the mechanism of injury and plan optimal surgical procedures.</p><p><br></p><p>In this study, the effect of preoperative use of digitally designed three-dimensional fracture bone models on understanding the fracture shape, its effect on classification, its effect on surgical planning and perception will be investigated. Preoperative radiological images (CT, direct radiography) of 20 patients who had previously been operated for acetabular fracture will be used. A 3D fracture model will be created for each patient and printed in one-to-one size. In addition, the mirror imaginary intact side pelvis will also be pressed. Printed models will display the damage to the bone caused by the trauma of the patient. The surgical team will investigate the superiority of the intervention by criteria such as the length of the nails to be used, the duration of the operation, the fluoroscopy shot to be used, and the amount of bleeding.</p><p><br></p><p>Creating a personalized fracture solid model is a very useful method in terms of preoperative surgery preparation. The reduction of the broken bone and the placement of plates and screws show that the method is patient-friendly without additional radiation. Three-dimensional personalized models will be able to display personalized information regarding acetabular fractures in the surgical plan, as well as maximizing the possibility to achieve ideal anatomical reduction success.</p>
