We investigated the workflow of computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction that was performed with a patient-specific mandibular reconstruction plate fabricated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques and a fibula flap. We assessed the feasibility of this technique from virtual planning to the completion of surgery. Computed tomography (CT) scans of a cadaveric skull and fibula were obtained for the virtual simulation of mandibular resection and reconstruction using ProPlan CMF software (Materialise®/DePuy Synthes®). The virtual model of the reconstructed mandible provided the basis for the computer-aided design of a patient-specific reconstruction plate that was milled from titanium using a five-axis milling machine and CAM techniques. CAD/CAM techniques were used for producing resection guides for mandibular resection and cutting guides for harvesting a fibula flap. Mandibular reconstruction was simulated in a cadaveric wet laboratory. No problems were encountered during the procedure. The plate was fixed accurately to the residual bone without difficulty. The fibula segments were attached to the plate rapidly and reliably. The fusion of preoperative and postoperative CT datasets demonstrated high reconstruction precision. Computer-assisted mandibular reconstruction with CAD/CAM-fabricated patient-specific reconstruction plates appears to be a promising approach for mandibular reconstruction. Clinical trials are required to determine whether these promising results can be translated into successful practice and what further developments are needed.

ABSTRACT Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) for pelvic fracture sequelae presents a challenge in hip preservation surgery due to a combination of complex conditions involving post-traumatic altered anatomy and technically demanding procedure, with high surgical risk involved. To address these challenging conditions and evade potential devastating complications, a combination of patient-specific template (PST) and electromagnetic navigation (EMN) guidance can be used to increase the safety of the procedure and the accuracy of the acetabular reorientation. Herein we report our experience utilizing a combined PST- and EMN-assisted bilateral PAO for staged correction of bilateral severe, injury-induced hip dysplasia. The presented case report describes a unique method of successful surgical treatment of severe, bilateral injury-induced hip dysplasia with combined 3-D printing technology (PST) and intra-operative electromagnetic computer-assisted navigation (EMN) aided technically demanding surgical procedure (PAO), which emphasizes the benefits of PST and EMN use in hip preservation surgery in patients with complex pathoanatomic circumstances.

Resection of the jaw is a primary option of treatment in mandibular ameloblastoma with bone damage. Mandibular resection will cause mandibular stability disturbance due toloss of some part of the bone. Instability of the mandible can cause aesthetic, physiological, and psychological malfunctioning. To restore its stability, installment of mandibular reconstruction plate on the remaining mandibular by using screws. However, it is not uncommon that plate exposure occurs following mandibular reconstruction, caused by inaccurate adaptation of the plates to the mandibular bone. A  3D stereolithography modelcan help provide the best assesment on the bone defect, plan the making of the more easily pre-operative curved plates and provide more accurate faster surgery time. Objective: To evaluate plate exposure after mandibular resection with titanium reconstruction plates in Dr. SardjitoHospital. Case report: A case was reported on mandibular reconstruction after resection of ameloblastoma with titanium plate performed in Dr. Sardjito Hospital that experienced intra-oral plate exposure and oro-cutaneous fistula on the left mandible. The clinical evaluation showed the curved titanium plate did not adapt well with the remaining mandibular bone; therefore, the titanium plate was removed without replacing it with a new plate. Inappropriate adaptationof curved titanium plate is one of the main causes of plate exposure. The use of a 3D stereolithography model is very helpful for the success of mandibular reconstruction.

ObjectivesThis retrospective study compared two mandibular reconstruction procedures—conventional reconstruction plates (CR) and patient-specific implants (PSI)—and evaluated their accuracy of reconstruction and clinical outcome.MethodsOverall, 94 patients had undergone mandibular reconstruction with CR (n = 48) and PSI (n = 46). Six detectable and replicable anatomical reference points, identified via computer tomography, were used for defining the mandibular dimensions. The accuracy of reconstruction was assessed using pre- and postoperative differences.ResultsIn the CR group, the largest difference was at the lateral point of the condyle mandibulae (D2) -1.56 mm (SD = 3.8). In the PSI group, the largest difference between preoperative and postoperative measurement was shown at the processus coronoid (D5) with +1.86 mm (SD = 6.0). Significant differences within the groups in pre- and postoperative measurements were identified at the gonion (D6) [t(56) = -2.217; p = .031 <.05]. In the CR group, the difference was 1.5 (SD = 3.9) and in the PSI group -1.04 (SD = 4.9). CR did not demonstrate a higher risk of plate fractures and post-operative complications compared to PSI.ConclusionFor reconstructing mandibular defects, CR and PSI are eligible. In each case, the advantages and disadvantages of these approaches must be assessed. The functional and esthetic outcome of mandibular reconstruction significantly improves with the experience of the surgeon in conducting microvascular grafts and familiarity with computer-assisted surgery. Interoperator variability can be reduced, and training of younger surgeons involved in planning can be reaching better outcomes in the future.

ProPlan CMF (Depuy Synthes, Solothurn, Switzerland, and Materialise, Leuven, Belgium) is a computer-aided surgical virtual planning service using an online meeting with professional medical engineers and transfers patient-specific surgical guide to the virtual plan. Moreover, prebent reconstruction plates or patient-specific computer-aided manufacturing-fabricated reconstruction can also be used. This service started in 2011. Currently, it is widely used in Europe. Current status of mandibular reconstruction with ProPlan CMF vertical planning service with the surgical guide was reviewed. The accuracy was excellent in terms of contact of the osteotomized parts and the contact to the remaining skeleton. The authors found that currently, a small number of reports regarding the mandibular reconstruction with virtual planning service and surgical guides are available. These reports also have a small number of cases and short-term follow-up results. In this situation, this review revealed that (1) mainly the resection guides, cutting guides, and patient-specific mandible reconstruction plates were adequately well fitted to the surgical site intraoperatively, (2) the ischemic time might be more reduced than that of the conventional surgery (3) the accuracy of computer-assisted surgery in the mandibular reconstruction was clinically acceptable, and (4) condyle positions after the computer-assisted surgery was mainly normal. The higher additional cost than that of the conventional technique is presently an issue. Large-scale clinical studies and long-term follow-up studies are demanded.

BackgroundOsteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible is a severe complication of radiation therapy in head and neck cancer patients. Treatment of advanced stage mandibular osteoradionecrosis may consist of segmental resection and osseous reconstruction, often sacrificing the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN). New computer-assisted surgery (CAS) techniques can be used for guided IAN preservation and 3D radiotherapy isodose curve visualization for patient specific mandibular resection margins. This study introduces a novel treatment concept combining these CAS techniques for treatment of advanced stage ORN.MethodsOur advanced stage ORN treatment concept includes consecutively: 1) determination of the mandibular resection margins using a 3D 50 Gy isodose curve visualization, 2) segmental mandibular resection with preservation of the IAN with a two-step cutting guide, and 3) 3D planned mandibular reconstruction using a hand-bent patient specific reconstruction plate. Postoperative accuracy of the mandibular reconstruction was evaluated using a guideline. Objective and subjective IAN sensory function was tested for a period of 12 months postoperatively.ResultsFive patients with advanced stage ORN were treated with our ORN treatment concept using the fibula free flap. A total of seven IANs were salvaged in two men and three women. No complications occurred and all reconstructions healed properly. Neither non-union nor recurrence of ORN was observed. Sensory function of all IANs recovered after resection up to 100 percent, including the patients with a pathologic fracture due to ORN. The accuracy evaluation showed angle deviations limited to 3.78 degrees. Two deviations of 6.42° and 7.47° were found. After an average of 11,6 months all patients received dental implants to complete oral rehabilitation.ConclusionsOur novel ORN treatment concept shows promising results for implementation of 3D radiotherapy isodose curve visualization and IAN preservation. Sensory function of all IANs recovered after segmental mandibular resection.
