Description
OBJECTIVE
To compare the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed patient-specific guide (PSG) with a freehand (FH) approach for radial osteotomies in ex vivo normal dogs.
STUDY DESIGN
Experimental study.
ANIMALS
Twenty four ex vivo thoracic limb pairs from normal beagle dogs.
METHODS
Computed tomography (CT) images were collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Three osteotomies tested (n = 8/group) were: (1) uniplanar 30° frontal plane wedge ostectomy, (2) oblique plane (30° frontal, 15° sagittal) wedge ostectomy, and (3) single oblique plane osteotomy (SOO, 30° frontal, 15° sagittal, and 30° external). Limb pairs were randomized to a 3D PSG or FH approach. The resultant osteotomies were compared with virtual target osteotomies by surface shape-matching postoperative to the preoperative radii.
RESULTS
The mean ± standard deviation osteotomy angle deviation for all 3D PSG osteotomies (2.8 ± 2.8°, range 0.11-14.1°) was less than for the FH osteotomies (6.4 ± 6.0°, range 0.03-29.7°). No differences were found for osteotomy location in any group. In total, 84% of 3D PSG osteotomies were within 5° deviance from the target compared to 50% of freehand osteotomies.
CONCLUSION
Three-dimensional PSG improved FH accuracy of osteotomy angle in select planes and the most complex osteotomy orientation in a normal ex vivo radial model.
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Three-dimensional PSGs provided more consistent accuracy, which was most notable in complex radial osteotomies. Future work is needed to investigate guided osteotomies in dogs with antebrachial bone deformities.
