Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone cancer in children and, unfortunately, is associated with poor survival rates. OS most commonly arises around the knee joint, and was traditionally treated with amputation until surgeons began to favour limb-preserving surgery in the 1990s. Whilst improving functional outcomes, this was not without problems, such as implant failure and limb length discrepancies. OS can also arise in areas such as the pelvis, spine, head, and neck, which creates additional technical difficulty given the anatomical complexity of the areas. We reviewed the literature and summarised the recent advances in OS surgery. Improvements have been made in many areas; developments in pre-operative imaging technology have allowed improved planning, whilst the ongoing development of intraoperative imaging techniques, such as fluorescent dyes, offer the possibility of improved surgical margins. Technological developments, such as computer navigation, patient specific instruments, and improved implant design similarly provide the opportunity to improve patient outcomes. Going forward, there are a number of promising avenues currently being pursued, such as targeted fluorescent dyes, robotics, and augmented reality, which bring the prospect of improving these outcomes further.

Background: Computer Navigation in Total Knee Replacement (TKR) has completed more than a decade since its inception. From that time, numerous studies have been done to see its effect on the variables of surgery and its outcome. Some studies have shown that it is definitely beneficial while others have negated its superiority over conventional techniques. This is an early outcome study on the results of navigation TKR in terms of alignment and clinical outcome at three years post-operatively. Methods: In the present study, 128 patients who had undergone navigation TKR (128 TKR) between January 2006 and November 2009 were included. The navigation system used was orthoPilot®. Patients were assessed post-operatively at one and three year using knee society score (KSS) and knee function score (KFS). All patients completed one year follow-up and 55 patients completed three year follow-up. From 128 patients, 40 navigated TKR patients operated between November 2007 and 2009 and were compared with 40 patients operated by conventional TKR operated between July 2007 and December 2008. Results: The mean KSS at 1 year post-operatively was 85.60 and at 3 years was 85.87. The mean KFS at 1 year post-operatively was 69.30 and at 3 years was 68.00. There was no statistically significant difference between navigation TKR and conventional TKR in terms of anatomical femoro-tibial alignment, femoral component alignment in coronal and sagittal plane and tibial component alignment in coronal plane. However, there was statistically significant difference between tibial component alignment in sagittal plane (p = 0.000) between both the groups. Conclusion: Computer navigation TKR affords a possibility to place both the femoral and tibial component very precisely without the risk of any greater axis deviation from ideal value. It helps in reducing the outliers in alignment of the limb and that of component and that improves the overall implant survival for a long time post-operatively.

Pao Surgery

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is an effective surgical treatment for developmental hip dysplasia. The goal of PAO is to reorient the acetabulum to increase acetabular coverage of the femoral head, as well as to reduce contact pressures within the hip joint. The primary challenge of PAO is to accurately achieve the desired acetabular fragment orientation, while maximizing containment and congruency. As key parts of the procedure are performed out of direct field of view of the surgeon, combined with this challenge of precise spatial orientation, there is a potential role for technologies such as surgical navigation. Adjunctive technology may provide information on the orientation of repositioned acetabulum and may offer a useful assist in performing PAO. Here, we present a case of developmental dysplasia of the hip treated via PAO with the addition of an imageless computer navigation device. Surgery was successful, and, at 3 months after procedure, the patient was progressing well. To our best knowledge, this is the first case using imageless computer-assisted navigation in PAO surgery.

Huge Challenge

The integration of information technologies in healthcare practice significantly changes the methods of diagnosis and treatment, the forms of interaction of doctors with patients and colleagues, the organization of treatment and recovery of health. The field of reconstruction of the auricle is still a huge challenge for facial plastic surgeons and requires at various techniques to find the best treatment for each patient. The paper describes the application of computer modeling and laser stereolithography technology in surgical practice for auricular surfaces ectoprosthetics. To improve the accuracy and quality of the surgical intervention the positioning of external prosthesis is applied with the aid of personal templates and computer navigation. The accuracy of ectoprosthesis positioning when using a plastic mask template was 0.3-0.4 mm, while computer navigation was 0.1 - 0.2 mm. Using personalized templates is a simpler and more intuitive way of positioning that does not require expensive computer navigation systems. This example of ectoprosthetics shows the possibilities of various reconstructions of facial organs, not only the ear, but also, for example, the nose, using computer modeling and 3d printing technologies

Purpose. To assess the accuracy of knee alignment after high tibial osteotomy (HTO) for varus knee deformity using arthroscopy-assisted computer navigation. Methods. Six men and 4 women aged 47 to 53 (mean, 49) years underwent medial open wedge HTO for varus knee deformity and medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis using arthroscopy-assisted computer navigation with fluoroscopy. Patients were followed up for a mean of 23 (range, 11–32) months. Intra- and post-operative leg alignments were compared. Results. The mean postoperative coronal plane alignment was 2.7 (range, 1–4) degree valgus; the mean deviation from intra-operative computer images was one (range, 0.1–1.9) degree; 5 knees had less valgus in the postoperative radiographs than the intra-operative computer images. Conclusion. Despite being more technically demanding, time consuming, and costly, arthroscopy-assisted computer navigation is safe, accurate, and reliable for HTO.
