3D Planning & Guides for Osteotomies

Personalization meets excellence

More than 80%¹ of rotational deformities go unnoticed in X-rays, and 60%² of osteotomies do not obtain the planned correction. Don’t compromise on the outcome of your bone deformity corrections. Personalized 3D solutions can support you in achieving more predictable outcomes and high patient satisfaction.

How we support you

Unique 3D analysis

To start, 3D models are created based on your patient’s CT scans. By overlaying the mirrored, contralateral side on top of the surgical side, you can analyze the deformity compared to the patient’s healthy anatomy. Based on this analysis, you can get a more precise definition of the required correction.

Indications

Malunions and non-unions

Caused by trauma for adult and pediatric patients and lead to a loss of function, pain, and deformity

Congenital deformities

For example, Madelung's deformity

Osteoarthritis

For early-stage osteoarthritis of the knee and ankle

Upper extremities/anatomies

Clavicle guides

3D-printed drilling and cutting guides

Lower extremities/anatomies

Ankle guides

3D-printed drilling and cutting guides

Clinical evidence

As described in scientific literature, Materialise’s personalized system for osteotomies may reduce operative and fluoroscopy time and add precision to the definition of the required correction and execution. It is reported to enable greater postoperative improvement of pain, patient satisfaction, and DASH scores than conventional surgical methods.
