Abstract
Abstract: In complex revision total hip arthroplasties, careful preoperative planning is crucial for the proper reconstruction of hip biomechanics. With conventional 2D radiographic images and computed tomography (CT) the 3D extension of the defect and the remaining bone stock may not be evaluated properly. 3D printed models can aid the surgeon in planning complex acetabular re-construction. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of bony defect assessment in severe acetabular defects surgery with 3D printing planning as compared to conventional 2D ra-diographic planning and CT. Twenty-five patients with severe acetabular defects (Paprosky IIC and III) undergoing revision surgery were enrolled. Each patient had a 3D printed model of their femur and pelvis created based on CT scans. Clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted before and after surgery, with four key bone landmarks measured and compared between X-ray, CT, 3D models, and surgical reports. The findings revealed discrepancies in defect assessment between different imaging methods. X-rays and CT scans sometimes incorrectly identified affected areas, while the 3D models showed more accurate results. This study suggests that 3D printed models can significantly improve the preoperative evaluation of complex hip arthroplasty revisions, enabling surgeons to better select optimal surgical strategies.
