The interest of patient-specific guides (PSGs) lies in reliable intraoperative achievement of
preoperative planning goals. They are a form of instrumentation optimizing intraoperative …

The reconstruction of malunited distal radius fractures is often challenging. Virtual planning
techniques and guides for drilling and resection have been used for several years to …

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 …

Corrective osteotomy is a standard treatment for distal radius fractures in malunited radius
cases. In order to increase the efficiency of the osteotomy pre-operative plan, in this study, a …

Objective To report the use of a 3‐dimensional (3D)‐printed patient‐specific reduction guide
system to facilitate minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) of a humeral fracture in a …

Congenital or posttraumatic bone deformity may lead to reduced range of motion, joint
instability, pain, and osteoarthritis. The conventional joint-preserving therapy for such …

Background: Medical image processing has facilitated simulation of 3-dimensional (3-D)
corrective osteotomy, and 3-D rapid prototyping technology has further enabled the …

A bone fracture may lead to malunion of bone segments, which gives discomfort to the
patient and may lead to chronic pain, reduced function and finally to early osteoarthritis …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted corrective osteotomy has become the
state-of-the-art for surgical treatment of complex bone deformities. Despite available …

Corrective osteotomies of the forearm based on 3D computer simulation using contralateral
anatomy as a reconstruction template is an approved method. Limitations are existing …
