Abstract

Introduction

High tibial osteotomy is a well-known and widely used procedure with a proven efficiency in treatment and prevention of knee arthritis. For a few years this procedure has been performed using a Patient Specific Instrument (PSI), designed pre-operatively for a specific patient. The aim of this paper is to analyze outcomes of high tibial osteotomies using PSI, regarding accuracy in axis correction.

Material And Method

In years 2018- 2022, 37 lower limb corrections by around- the knee osteotomy were performed. Mean age in analyzed group was 51,1 years (22-72). Right side: 17, left side: 20. Group consisted of 24 men and 13 women.
In preoperational planning all patients underwent diagnostics concerning full- length weight bearing conventional radiography and a CT scan. Based on the data, in cooperation with biomedical engineer, a mathematical model of the bone was created. An individual patient specific instrument was designed and printed in 3D technology, accurately pointing place and angle of the osteotomy. In the analysis planned and actual correction angles were compared, based on postoperative radiograms. Radiograms were analyzed using Horos software.

Results

Mean correction angle was 6,46 degrees (3-11). The mean difference between actual and planned correction angle was 0,61 degrees (0-2). In one case we noted a complication, where gauge was printed for the other side of the body. In this case we performed the surgery using traditional approach.
Summary
Hight tibial osteotomy using Patient Specific Instrument enables accurate operation planning and precise angle correction. Additional benefit of PSI- assisted osteotomies is shorter time of the procedure, comparing to a traditional approach.
