Accuracy of intertrochanteric osteotomy for patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis operated with 3D printed patient-specific guides.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE), is one of the most common hip disorders in adolescents, and is treated surgically by performing an Imhäuser osteotomy. The use of 3D printed guides has shown promise in improving the accuracy of the osteotomy. However, misplacement of the guide may limit the improvement. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate, postoperatively, the degree of malalignment of 3D printed guides compared to the 3D planning.

Methods

Patients who underwent surgery between April 2018 and October 2022 and underwent postoperative CT were included in this study. The preoperative CT was used for 3D planning of surgical treatment using 3D printed patient-specific guides and plates. The positioning error of the femoral head and of the patie
