In patients with severe comminuted fractures, dislocations, osteoarthritis, etc., where leg amputation is indicated, joint fixation as an alternative surgery can preserve the leg. In joint fixation, each bone that corresponds to the top and bottom of the joint is cut, brought into contact with the cut surface, and then fixed using an orthopedic plate.
For a good prognosis, it is important to calculate the length and angle of the leg and accurately apply it to the surgery so that the patient can walk comfortably at the end of the surgery. However, difficulties arise due to various causes, such as the limitation of the surgical field of view and the complex shape of the bone.
The joint fixation guide is a surgical instrument that is individually created for each patient through a 3D simulation process using a patient's CT image, and helps to accurately cut and rearrange the joint surface.
The guide set consists of an osteotomy guide that tells you where to cut the bone in the first stage of surgery, and a reduction guide and compression guide that rearranges the bone.
If the surgery plan and patient guide are designed according to the request of the orthopedic surgeon, you can check them through the 3D viewer. You can view anywhere using a web browser or mobile phone and, if desired, order patient-specific surgical guides through the correction process.
A set of simulated surgical practice exercises is provided with a guide. Orthopedic surgeons can perform simulated surgery in advance, and can increase the success rate of surgery by identifying problems expected in actual surgery in advance. A post-surgical bone model is also available, which shows the mounting location of the plate preselected by the orthopedic surgeon. Using this model, you can shorten the surgery time by shaping the plate before surgery.
