Popis: | Summary The treatment of complex articular scapular fractures requires obtaining an anatomic reduction. The experience of the surgeon and the surgical skills needed are still the most important aspect in this surgical field. 3D printed models at a 1:1 scale provides tactile and visual experience. We used a specular healthy scapula (reverse engineering) as a reliable template for preoperative planning. We pre-contour plates directly over a printed mold, for direct application, without further corrections during the surgical procedure. This reduces improvisation during surgery, the risks of complications and the total costs while improving the accuracy of the anatomical restoration of the native glenopolar angle derived from the indirect reduction of the fracture. Until recently, the use of RP (rapid prototyping) models for managing complex fractures required contracting the services provided by external companies, with the constraints posed on cost and time. We made the whole process ourselves in a DIY mode: from the post-processed radiological images to the 3D model printing, pre contoured plates and surgical simulation. |
