Clinical application of 3D-printed patient-specific guide plate combined with computer navigation in acetabular reconstruction following resection of periacetabular tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The precise acetabular reconstruction has historically been a challenging procedure. 3D-printed patient-specific guide (PSG) and computer navigation (CN) technologies have been used to assist acetabular component positioning and pelvic reconstruction. This precise reconstruction approach may translate into clinical benefit.

Methods

The clinical data of 84 patients who underwent periacetabular malignant tumor resection and screw-rod-acetabular cage system reconstruction in our center from January 2013 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into four groups: free hand (FH) group, PSG group, CN group, and PSG combined with computer navigation (PSG + CN) group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and number of fluoroscopy view
