Objectives

3D printing is an emerging technology and its use in orthopaedics is being explored. We discuss the role of computed tomography based 3D printed patient specific jigs in total knee replacement. We also discuss the various advantages of 3D printed patient specific jigs and the future scope of their use in total knee replacement.

Methods

A search of English literature was done and articles discussing the role of CT scan based 3D printed patient specific jigs in total knee replacement were included in the study.

Results

The role of 3D printed jigs in total knee replacement have been found in the prediction of femoral valgus angle, component sizing and in retained hardware. They have shown promise with studies suggesting they might improve the overall mechanical alignment of the knee. There are studies which have also studied the combined role of patient specific instruments with navigation.

Conclusion

3D printed jigs hold promise in total knee replacement. Their use in total knee replacement in the presence of retained hardware is useful for the surgeon. They have also showed promise in improving prediction of component sizing and improving mechanical alignment of the knee. Further studies with longer follow up and larger sample size will help in establishing their role in total knee replacement.  相似文献

Introduction

Hand injuries are the most common injury observed in hurling although compliance in wearing protective gloves is reportedly low.

Purpose of the Study

To devise a glove that offers comfort, protection and freedom of movement, using the bespoke capabilities of 3-dimensional (3D) printing.

Methods

Each player's “catching” hand was imaged using a 3D scanner to produce a bespoke glove that they later trialed and provided feedback.

Results

Nine players provided feedback. On average, the players favorably rated the glove for the protection offered. The average response on comfort was poor, and no players reported that glove aided performance during play.

Discussion

This feasibility study explores the versatility of 3D printing as a potential avenue to improve player compliance in wearing protective sportswear. Feedback will help refine glove design for future prototypes.

Conclusions

Hurling is the primary focus in this study, but knowledge gains should be transferable to other sports that have a high incidence of hand injury.

Background

To report our experiences with the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing in the field of orthopedic trauma.

Methods

This retrospective study enrolled 24 patients from three university teaching hospitals in whom 3D printing technique was applied: 14 patients with acetabular fractures and 10 patients with clavicular shaft fractures. We summarized our experiences with 3D printed bone models.

Results

Three-dimensional printed acetabular models improved understanding of complex acetabular anatomy and fracture pattern to plan the optimal positioning of a reduction clamp and the trajectory of screws. Pre-bending of a reconstruction plate could reduce operative time. We also recorded fluoroscopic images of a simulated surgery for percutaneous screw fixation of the acetabular posterior column, with the optimal positioning of the guide wire determined during the simulation used as a reference during the actual operation. This surgical simulation was performed by a resident and served as a helpful training method. For fractures of the clavicle, we identified the optimal position of anatomical plates using 3D printed clavicle models.

Conclusion

In our experience, 3D printing technique provided surgeons with improved understanding of the fracture pattern and anatomy and was effectively used for preoperative planning, education of surgical trainees, and performing simulations to improve intra-operative technical outcomes.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term clinical results, radiographic results, range of knee motion, patient satisfaction, and the survival rate of Medial-Pivot posterior cruciate-substituting, knee prosthesis and a press-fit condylar (PFC) Sigma cruciate-retaining mobile-bearing knee prosthesis in the same patients.

Methods

One hundred eighty-two patients received Medial-Pivot knee prosthesis in one knee and a PFC Sigma knee prosthesis in the contralateral knee. The minimum duration of follow-up was 11 years (range, 11-12.6 years).

Results

The knees with a Medial-Pivot knee prosthesis had significantly worse results than those with a PFC Sigma knee prosthesis at the final follow-up with regard to the mean postoperative Knee Society knee scores (90 compared with 95 points), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score (25 compared with 18 points), and range of knee motion (117° compared with 128°). Patients were more satisfied with PFC Sigma knee prosthesis (93%) than with Medial-Pivot knee prosthesis (75%). Complication rates were significantly higher in the Medial-Pivot knee group (26%) than those in the PFC Sigma knee group (6.5%). Radiographic results and survival rates (99% compared with 99.5%) were similar between the 2 groups.

Conclusion

Although the long-term fixation and survival rate of both Medial-Pivot and PFC Sigma prostheses were similar, we observed a worse knee score, worse range of knee motion, and patient satisfaction was less in the Medial-Pivot knee group than in the PFC Sigma knee group. Furthermore, complication rate was also higher in the Medial-Pivot knee group than the other group.  相似文献

Background

Both rotating-platform (RP) mobile-bearing and medial-pivot (MP) fixed-bearing prostheses allow axial femorotibial rotation using a highly conforming polyethylene insert. However, limited comparative data are available between the 2 designs. This study was performed to compare the midterm clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of RP and MP prostheses.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of 52 total knee arthroplasties using RP mobile-bearing prosthesis and 49 total knee arthroplasties using MP fixed prosthesis with a minimum follow-up period of 5 years. Clinical and radiological outcomes, failure rates, and PROMs, including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index score and satisfaction, were compared.

Results

There was no difference in clinical or radiographic outcomes (P > .1 for all comparisons), with the exception of the larger flexion contracture (FC) in the MP group (0.3° in RP vs 2.3° in MP, P < .01). No failure in either group was recorded during the study period. PROMs were comparable (P > .1 in all comparisons), with the exception of higher satisfactions in the RP group while performing light household duties (P < .01) and leisure or recreational activities (P = .014) in patients without FC.

Conclusion

The midterm clinical results with both the RP mobile-bearing and MP fixed-bearing prostheses were satisfactory. Although both prostheses provided comparable PROMs, patients with an RP prosthesis were more satisfied than those with an MP prosthesis for highly demanding activities that are strongly associated with the presence of postoperative FC.  相似文献

Background

The large-diameter metal-on-metal hip prostheses were expected to have low wear and reduced dislocation rate compared to the traditional metal-on-polyethylene implants. We compare 2 such prostheses, the ReCap resurfacing implant and the M2a-Magnum stemmed implant, with the C2a ceramic-on-ceramic stemmed implant as to clinical performance, serum concentrations of prosthesis metals, and the durability of the implants in a randomized, controlled clinical trial at 7 years of follow-up.

Methods

All included patients had osteoarthritis. Preoperatively, the size of the implants was estimated from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Follow-up data included serum cobalt and chromium concentrations, Oxford and Harris Hip Scores, leg press and abduction force, 6-minute walk distance, WOMAC and SF-36 self-assessment scores, and from the 7th postoperative year also ultrasonography (US) examination of the soft tissue adjacent to the implant as well as MRI with metal artifact reduction sequence (MARS-MRI) when indicated.

Results

One hundred fifty-two hips in 146 patients were included. The serum cobalt and chromium concentrations were significantly higher for the 2 metal-on-metal prostheses than for the ceramic-on-ceramic, with the M2a-Magnum as the highest. No significant difference was found between the groups concerning physical performance measurements and scores as well as dislocations and prosthesis survival. Five revisions were done and concerned all groups, for reasons of pain, high serum cobalt and chromium concentrations, cystic fluid collection around the joint, and infection. Metal concentrations, US, and MARS-MRI contributed to the decision making regarding prosthesis revision.

Conclusion

Metal concentrations were significantly higher for the metal-on-metal prostheses than for the ceramic-on-ceramic. The clinical performance was good in all 3 prosthesis groups. Metal concentrations, US, and MARS-MRI findings were of use to identify hips needing revision.ID Number in ClinicalTrials.gov PRS: NCT00284674  相似文献

Introduction

Current assessment of hand function is not focused on evaluating the real abilities required for autonomy.

Purpose of the Study

To quantify the relevance of grasp types for autonomy to guide hand recovery and its assessment.

Methods

Representative tasks of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health activities in which the hands are directly involved were recorded. The videos were analyzed to identify the grasps used with each hand, and their relevance for autonomy was determined by weighting time with the frequency of appearance of each activity in disability and dependency scales. Relevance is provided globally and distinguished by hand (right-left) and bimanual function. Significant differences in relevance are also checked.

Results

The most relevant grasps are pad-to-pad pinch (31.9%), lumbrical (15.4%), cylindrical (12%), and special pinch (7.3%) together with the nonprehensile (18.6%) use of the hand. Lumbrical grasp has higher relevance for the left hand (19.9% vs 12%) while cylindrical grasp for the right hand (15.3% vs 7.7%). Relevancies are also different depending on bimanual function.

Discussion

Different relative importance was obtained when considering dependency vs disability scales. Pad-to-pad pinch and nonprehensile grasp are the most relevant grasps for both hands, whereas lumbrical grasp is more relevant for the left hand and cylindrical grasp for the right one. The most significant difference in bimanual function refers to pad-to-pad pinch (more relevant for unimanual actions of the left hand and bimanual actions of the right).

Conclusions

The relative importance of each grasp type for autonomy and the differences observed between hand and bimanual action should be used in medical and physical decision-making.
