Reconstruction of Severe Acetabular Bone Defect with 3D Printed Ti6Al4V Augment: A Finite Element Study.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:The purpose of this study was to establish the finite element analysis (FEA) model of acetabular bone defect reconstructed by 3D printed Ti6Al4V augment and TM augment and further to analyze the stress distribution and clinical safety of augments, screws, and bones. Methods:The FEA model of acetabular bone defect reconstructed by 3D printed Ti6Al4V augment was established by the CT data of a patient with Paprosky IIIA defect. The von Mises stresses of augments, screws, and bones were analyzed by a single-legged stance loading applied in 3 increments (500 N, 2000 N, and 3000 N). Results:The peak von Mises stresses under the maximal loading in the 3D printed augments, screws, and cortical bone were less than the yield strength of the corresponding component. However, the peak stress in the bone was greater than the yield strength of cancellous bone under walking or jogging loading. And under the same loading, the peak compressive and shear stresses in bone contact with TM augment were larger than these with 3D printed augment. Conclusions:The FEA results show that all the components will be intact under single-legged standing. However, partial cancellous bone contacted with 3D printed augment and screws will lose efficacy under walking or jogging load. So we recommend that patients can stand under full bearing, but can not walk or jog immediately after surgery.

Project description:ObjectiveTo introduce the surgical technique of reconstruction of Paprosky type III acetabular defects by 3D printed porous augments.MethodsFirst, CT scans of pelvis were obtained to establish the 3D reconstruction model of 3D printed porous augment. Then, a nylon pelvis model was printed to simulate operation with the surgeons. At this time, the augment was designed and modified according to the surgeon's suggestions and the 3D printing principles. Eighteen patients with Paprosky type III acetabular defects receiving reconstructive surgery by 3D printed porous augments were included in current study. Their data, including general information, intra-operative findings, imaging results, functional scores, and complications were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe mean follow-up time lasted 33.3 ± 2.0 (24-56) months. The average limb-length discrepancy (LLD) was 31.7 ± 4.2 (3-59) mm preoperatively, 7.7 ± 1.4 (1-21) mm postoperatively (P < 0.0001), and 7.5 ± 1.2 (0-18) mm at the latest follow-up. The mean vertical position of hip center of rotation (HCOR) from the interteardrop line changed from preoperative 50.7 ± 3.9 (23.3-75.3) mm to postoperative 22.9 ± 1.9 (10.1-40.3) mm (P < 0.0001), with the latest follow-up revealing an HCOR of 22.3 ± 1.7 (11.0-40.5) mm. Follow-up study showed that no hip had radiolucencies and radiological loosening of the acetabular components and augment. The average Harris hip score (HHS) improved from 40.3 ± 4.5 (10.5-71) before operation to 88.4 ± 1.9 (75-97) at the last follow-up (P < 0.0001). Moreover, follow-up exhibited that no periprosthetic joint infection, hip dislocation, fracture, and re-revision occurred.ConclusionSurgical treatment of Paprosky type III acetabular defect with 3D printed porous augment was simple, achieved good match between porous augment and the defect bone surface and the acetabular component, ideally restored LLD and HCOR after operation, significantly improved HHS and attained good early clinical outcomes. It is a promising personalized solution for patients with severe acetabular bone defect.

Project description:BackgroundThe precise acetabular reconstruction has historically been a challenging procedure. 3D-printed patient-specific guide (PSG) and computer navigation (CN) technologies have been used to assist acetabular component positioning and pelvic reconstruction. This precise reconstruction approach may translate into clinical benefit.MethodsThe clinical data of 84 patients who underwent periacetabular malignant tumor resection and screw-rod-acetabular cage system reconstruction in our center from January 2013 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into four groups: free hand (FH) group, PSG group, CN group, and PSG combined with computer navigation (PSG + CN) group. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and number of fluoroscopy views were recorded. The oncological prognosis, radiographic measurements of the acetabulum, limb function data, and postoperative complications were compared among groups. And finally, we evaluated the risk factors for mechanical failure of the prosthesis.ResultsThe postoperative X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed that the vertical offset discrepancy (VOD) between affected side and contralateral side was 8.4±1.9, 5.9±2.2, 4.1±1.3, and 2.4±1.2 mm in each groups; the horizontal offset discrepancy (HOD) was 9.0±1.9, 6.1±2.2, 3.2±1.3, and 2.1±1.2 mm, correspondingly; the abduction angle discrepancy (ABAD) was 8.6°±1.8°, 5.6°±2.0°, 2.5°±1.3°, and 1.8°±0.9°, respectively; the anteversion angle discrepancy (ANAD) was 5.9°±1.6°, 3.6°±1.7°, 2.9°±1.6°, and 1.9°±0.9°, correspondingly. Statistical results show that the PSG + CN group was superior to the FH group and the PSG group in terms of acetabular position and limb function (P<0.05). Body mass index (P=0.040) and resection type (P=0.042) were found to be the high-risk factors for mechanical failure of the prosthesis.ConclusionsPSG + CN has potential advantages in improving the accuracy and safety of acetabular positioning and reconstruction.
