Hip Re-Revision Surgery Using 3D Technology
Dr. Narayan Hulse
HISTORY
A 27-year-old woman from Saudi Arabia suffered from a road accident six years ago leading to six fractures on her body. Despite the best of treatments , she remained bedridden for several years.The patient had repeatedly failed right hip replacements and required a revision hip replacement again. The right hip was infected and the implant had to be removed. She also had replacements done for her pelvis and left hip.
DIAGNOSIS
Due to multiple operations, there was extensive damage to the bone.Further successful operations could not be conducted without acquiring a detailed understanding of the current bone structure.As in normal X-ray, one is only able to see in 2 dimensions but a CT Scan allows you to see from all sides. Using the CT Scan, a 3D bone model was created to assess the damage.
The bone model constructed using artificial material provided doctors with an accurate understanding of the available area for reconstruction. Further to improve the chances of success in the surgery, doctors performed trial operations on the bone model to reduce the margin of error.
POST OPERATIVE CARE
It was her 7th surgery on the same hip, and the patient was also overweight. She responded well to all her operations and was recovering well.
