Abstract

Abstract:Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) enables a more accurate alignment of the lower limbs in a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) than in traditional surgery; however, the current design of commercial PSIs is not perfect. Therefore, we designed a new patient-specific surgical guide to improve the accuracy of the osteotomy and verified its reliability through a clinical operation. Here, we describe a patient with isolated medial-compartment bilateral knee osteoarthritis, accompanied by a varus deformity of the proximal tibia. The patient was treated with HTO using a patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guide. We concluded that the patient-specific 3D-printed surgical guide improved the accuracy of the osteotomy and the alignment of the lower limb.
