Elevate surgical planning
To new levels of precision and confidence
Solution
Dr. Ravi, India’s leading Orthopedic surgeon in Gurugram, Haryana decided to resect the tumor along with placement of 3D printed Implant. An encapsulated mass was found measuring 7 X 5 X 5 cm involving left Scapula and surrounding tissues, extending from base of acromion process to the scapular process. Incredible team discussed with Dr. Ravi, the designing and entire manufacturing process. It was initially started with surgical planning and case stimulation with the help of US FDA & CE approved Materialise Mimics software by superimposing CT & MRI DICOM data. Once the planning was finalized, the customized implant was designed along with UHMWPE poly liner matching the humerus head. Read more
Conclusion
Implant was manufactured under ISO 13485 guidelines & tested to give an accurate fit & utmost safety. Once the resection was done, customized implant from 3D Incredible was implanted.
The Polypropylene mesh was sutured to either side of the part of the capsule cup, head of the humorous and scapular side of the implant. Implant was manufactured using Ti6Al4V-ELI and poly liner using UHMWPE (both are certified biocompatible materials); as per anatomical requirement, contour and bone thickness which are patient specific. 3D Incredible customized implant helped to reduce OT time as there was no further adaption of standard implant required on OT Table.
