How it Works
Surgery Walkthrough
Step 1: Place ostectomy guide on bone surface
Step 2: Use ostectomy guide to drill holes in bone
Step 3: Insert pins to secure osteotomy guide in place
Step 4: Use osteotomy guide to cut bone
Step 5: Cut osteotomy guide and slide off bone
Step 6: Slide reduction guide onto bone using pins
Step 7: Secure implant to bone
Step 8: Slide off reduction guide and remove pins
Our Approach
Step 1: Meet with Surgeon
-
Discuss patient's history and current needs
-
Discuss surgeon's preferences or limitations
-
Make decisions about surgical footprint, desired approach, etc
Step 2: Bone Manipulation
-
Receive CT scan of deformed bone to be manipulated in 3D software
-
Identify CORA and correction angles
-
Create desired post-op version of bone
-
Confirm correction plan with surgeon
Step 3: Guide Design
-
Design surgical guide used to perform osteotomy/ostectomy
-
Design reduction guide used for correction
-
Confirm design with surgeon
Step 4: Print Operations
-
3D print surgical guides using biocompatible resin
-
3D print pre-op and post-op bone models using standard resin
-
Perform quality and fit checks on prints
Step 5: Deliver Surgical Plan
-
Document patient information, correction plan, and surgical procedure instructions
-
Ship bone models, surgical guides, and surgical plan document to clinic
