In corrective osteotomy of the distal radius, using a cast-based guiding system showed comparable transfer errors to invasive surgical guides in normal weight specimens. The promising positioning capabilities suggest further investigation for potential use in clinical settings with less invasive osteosynthesis material.
Purpose In corrective osteotomy of the distal radius, patient-specific 3D printed surgical guides or optical navigation systems are often used to navigate the surgical saw. The purpose of this cadaver study is to present and evaluate a novel cast-based guiding system to transfer the virtually planned corrective osteotomy of the distal radius. Methods We developed a cast-based guiding system composed of a cast featuring two drilling slots as well as an external cutting guide that was used to orient the surgical saw for osteotomy in the preoperatively planned position. The device was tested on five cadaver specimens with different body fat percentages. A repositioning experiment was performed to assess the precision of replacing an arm in the cast. Accuracy and precision of drilling and cutting using the proposed cast-based guiding system were evaluated using the same five cadaver arms. CT imaging was used to quantify the positioning errors in 3D. Results For normal-weight cadavers, the resulting total translation and rotation repositioning errors were +/- 2 mm and +/- 2 degrees. Across the five performed surgeries, the median accuracy and Inter Quartile Ranges (IQR) of pre-operatively planned drilling trajectories were 4.3 degrees (IQR = 2.4 degrees) and 3.1 mm (IQR = 4.9 mm). Median rotational and translational errors in transferring the pre-operatively planned osteotomy plane were and 3.9 degrees (IQR = 4.5 degrees) and 2.6 mm (IQR = 4.2 mm), respectively. Conclusion For normal weight arm specimens, navigation of corrective osteotomy via a cast-based guide resulted in transfer errors comparable to those using invasive surgical guides. The promising positioning capabilities justify further investigating whether the method could ultimately be used in a clinical setting, which could especially be of interest when used with less invasive osteosynthesis material.
