Computer-assisted Treatment of Distal Radius Malunion
نویسنده
چکیده
Intra-articular malunions represent an exceptional technical challenge for the treating surgeon. Multidetector CT scans (MDCT) with three-dimensional (3D) surface rendered images are increasingly used not only for the evaluation of malunions, but also to develop a road map for surgery in patients who have been selected for corrective osteotomy.1,10,12 CTbased virtual pre-operative planning, including virtual osteotomy, prediction of final positioning11 and additive manufacturing of patient-specific instruments based on the 3D bone structure are clinical reality.8,9

Computer-assisted versus non-computer-assisted preoperative planning of corrective osteotomy for extra-articular distal radius malunions: a randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND Malunion is the most common complication of distal radius fracture. It has previously been demonstrated that there is a correlation between the quality of anatomical correction and overall wrist function. However, surgical correction can be difficult because of the often complex anatomy associated with this condition. Computer assisted surgical planning, combined with patient-specifi...

A corrective osteotomy is a frequently required procedure for symptomatic malunions of the distal radius. A multitude of different methods have been proposed for correction of distal radius malunions. However, precise correction of a severe malunion that requires simultaneous adjustment of displacement and rotation in multiple planes remains a challenge. Technological advancements have resulted...

متن کاملFixed Lunate Flexion Deformity in Distal Radius Fractures.
Carpal malalignments in malunion of distal radius fracture are considered as an adaptive response of the carpus to loss of normal architecture of the distal radius. This condition leads to mechanical overload, ligament attenuation and progressive dynamic instability around the wrist joint. Radial corrective osteotomy is suggested as a treatment option of carpal malalignment after distal radius ...
متن کاملComputer-assisted 3D planned corrective osteotomies in eight malunited radius fractures
In corrective osteotomy of the radius, detailed preoperative planning is essential to optimising functional outcome. However, complex malunions are not completely addressed with conventional preoperative planning. Computer-assisted preoperative planning may optimise the results of corrective osteotomy of the radius. We analysed the pre- and postoperative radiological result of computer-assisted...
