Patient-specific surgical guides are 3D printed single-use patient-specific medical devices that help to prevent inaccuracies during surgery and to make pre-surgical plan a reality.
Patient-specific surgical guides help a surgeon to precisely carry out the following operations : osteotomy;.
tumor resection;.
orthognathic surgery;.
positioning of standard or patient-specific implant components – with respect to biomechanical axes;.
screw insertion of the standard or patient-specific implants – according to screwing axes and screw depth that were approved in the pre-surgical plan.
Patient-specific surgical guides are widely used in implantation surgeries either with patient-specific or with standard implants.
Mostly patient-specific surgical guides are used in replacement surgeries for knee, hip and other joints.
However, they can also assist a surgical treatment of a number of other clinical conditions , e.
g.
when a certain bone part resection is needed with a purpose other than the insertion of an implant.
Examples of such surgical treatment include bone deformity correction surgeries – osteotomies – during which patient-specific surgical guides enable the surgeon to perform a controlled and highly accurate procedure .
Patient-specific surgical guides are designed individually for each patient according to the patient’s anatomical model created from computed tomography images, the patient’s pathology and the surgeon’s requirement s for the design.
Consequently, patient-specific surgical guides offer a number of advantage s compared to conventional surgery guiding methods.
Potential benefits of patient-specific surgical guides:.
Provide greater accuracy in implant component positioning or performing bone resection;.
Help precisely replicate pre-surgical plan;.
Decrease the number of conventional instruments used during surgery;.
Shorten the duration of surgery;.
Decrease the risk of surgical complications.
Fixation options of patient-specific surgical guides.
Patient-specific surgical guides may be fixed to the patient’s anatomical structures using the following methods: standard K-wires, or.
standard surgical screws, or.
only anatomical fixation, or.
multiple fixation, e.g., anatomical fixation and using K-wires or screws.
Manufacturing and materials of patient-specific surgical guides.
single-use patient-specific surgical guides and patient-specific anatomical models used in presurgical planning as well as for planning and training purposes during surgeries are printed from biocompatible polymer (PA 2200, also known as Nylon-12), using additive manufacturing technology SLS (Selective Laser Sintering).
All the materials, software and hardware used to manufacture patient-specific and surgical guides are certified.
