Abstract EN
Background and Purpose.
Hip dislocation combined with acetabular fracture remains a challenging condition for orthopedic surgeons.
In this study, we utilized a computer-assisted simulation and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to treat patients with hip dislocation combined with acetabular fracture.
We hypothesized that the 3D printing-assisted method would shorten the internal fixation time and surgical time.
Methods.
We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients diagnosed with traumatic posterior dislocation of hip combined with acetabular fractures and treated with plate fixation from September 2013 to August 2017.
Patients were divided into two groups: (1) traditional method and (2) 3D printing groups.
In the traditional method group, the plates were contoured during the surgery, whereas in the 3D printing group, the patient’s pelvic computed tomography image was transformed to the 3D medical image software for processing preoperatively.
The fracture reduction was simulated by the computer.
Thereafter, the 1:1 scale 3D printing model was used to design the surgical plan and contour patient-specific plates preoperatively.
Results.
The internal fixation time was significantly shorter in the 3D printing group than in the traditional method group (-33 min, P<0.05).
The mean operative time was shorter than that in the traditional method group (-43 min).
However, blood loss and postoperative radiograph results were similar between the groups.
The complication rate was lower in the 3D printing group (2/7) than in the traditional method group (5/9).
Interpretation.
Computer-assisted simulation with 3D printing technology is a more efficient method for treating hip dislocation combined with acetabular fractures.
