Computer-assisted design technology complements navigation system in pioneering orthopaedic surgery
Combining a 3D virtual cutting guide with a surgical navigation tool allowed MD Anderson surgeons to perform a complicated pelvic reconstruction more efficiently while increasing the anatomic accuracy and likely durability of the repair.
In this first such case, the combined technology allowed a more precise fit for an implant crafted from the patient’s fibula.
“When there is a really good fit, the survivorship of the...
