Solution
Dr. Himanshu Rohela leading Onco Orthopedic surgeon in Mumbai, Maharashtra after studying the scan and his previous treatment records, concluded that the patient is suffering from cancer of right pelvic bone having tumor. The challenge was to save the leg thus using Patient Specific Cutting Guides and Patient Specific Hip implant. Incredible team discussed with Dr. Rohela, the designing and entire manufacturing process. It initially started with surgical planning and case simulation with the help of US FDA & CE approved Materialise Mimics software by superimposing CT & MRI DICOM data & Anatomical Model. As Anatomical model maintained 1:1 ratio with the anatomy, hence showed excellent detailing of the defect, the model was also used to design jigs & implant on actual bone, which further helped the pre surgical planning. Once the planning was finalized, the surgery was accompanied with not only Customized Implant but also Cutting guides & Jigs. Read more
Conclusion
Implant was manufactured under ISO 13485 guidelines & tested to give an accurate fit & utmost safety.
Cutting Guides and Jigs from 3D Incredible helped the Surgeon to give an accurate cut and complete the surgery in one go. Once the resection was done, customized implant from 3D Incredible was implanted. Implant was manufactured using Ti6Al4V- ELI, a biocompatible material; as per anatomical requirement, contour and bone thickness which are patient specific. Read more
