Custom Massive Allograft in a Case of Pelvic Bone Tumour: Simulation of Processing with Computerised Numerical Control vs. Robotic Machining.

ABSTRACT: The use of massive bone allografts after the resection of bone tumours is still a challenging process. However, to overcome some issues related to the processing procedures and guarantee the best three-dimensional matching between donor and recipient, some tissue banks have developed a virtual tissue database based on the scanning of the available allografts for using their 3D shape during virtual surgical planning (VSP) procedures. To promote the use of future VSP bone-shaping protocols useful for machining applications within a cleanroom environment, in our work, we simulate a massive bone allograft machining with two different machines: a four-axes (computer numerical control, CNC) vs. a five-axes (robot) milling machine. The allograft design was based on a real case of allograft reconstruction after pelvic tumour resection and obtained with 3D Slicer and Rhinoceros software. Machining simulations were performed with RhinoCAM and graphically and mathematically analysed with CloudCompare and R, respectively. In this case, the geometrical differences of the allograft design are not clinically relevant; however, the mathematical analysis showed that the robot performed better than the four-axes machine. The proof-of-concept presented here paves the way towards massive bone allograft cleanroom machining. Nevertheless, further studies, such as the simulation of different types of allografts and real machining on massive bone allografts, are needed.

Project description:PurposeResection of pelvic bone tumours and subsequent pelvic girdle reconstruction pose formidable challenges due to the intricate anatomy, weight-bearing demands, and significant defects. 3D-printed implants have improved pelvic girdle reconstruction by enabling precise resections with customized guides, offering tailored solutions for diverse bone defect morphology, and integrating porous surface structures to promote osseointegration. Our study aims to evaluate the long-term efficacy and feasibility of 3D-printed hemipelvic reconstruction following resection of malignant pelvic tumours.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted on 96 patients with primary pelvic malignancies who underwent pelvic girdle reconstruction using 3D-printed custom hemipelvic endoprostheses between January 2017 and May 2022. Follow-up duration was median 48.1 ± 17.9 months (range, 6 to 76 months). Demographic data, imaging examinations, surgical outcomes, and oncological evaluations were extracted and analyzed. The primary endpoints included oncological outcomes and functional status assessed by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS-93) score. Secondary endpoints comprised surgical duration, intraoperative bleeding, pain control and complications.ResultsIn 96 patients, 70 patients (72.9%) remained disease-free, 15 (15.6%) had local recurrence, and 11 (11.4%) succumbed to metastatic disease. Postoperatively, function improved with MSTS-93 score increasing from 12.2 ± 2.0 to 23.8 ± 3.8. The mean operating time was 275.1 ± 94.0 min, and the mean intraoperative blood loss was 1896.9 ± 801.1 ml. Pain was well-managed, resulting in substantial improvements in VAS score (5.3 ± 1.8 to 1.4 ± 1.1). Complications occurred in 13 patients (13.5%), including poor wound healing (6.3%), deep prosthesis infection (4.2%), hip dislocation (2.1%), screw fracture (1.0%), and interface loosening (1.0%). Additionally, all patients achieved precise implantation of customized prosthetics according to preoperative plans. T-SMART revealed excellent integration at the prosthesis-bone interface for all patients.ConclusionThe use of a 3D-printed custom hemipelvic endoprosthesis, characterized by anatomically designed contours and a porous biomimetic surface structure, offers a potential option for pelvic girdle reconstruction following internal hemipelvectomy in primary pelvic tumor treatment. Initial results demonstrate stable fixation and satisfactory mid-term functional and radiographic outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundThus far, the hip revision surgery has been widely used and promoted, and the technology has been constantly innovated, such as tissue engineering, 3D printing prosthesis, etc. However, traditional standardized prosthesis, allograft, autograft, bone cement and reinforcing ring are still the main treatment methods in the mainstream pelvic defects classification systems for hip revision. In addition, the mainstream classification systems are still mainly focus on the peri-acetabulum, but less on the large-scale complex pelvic defects that widely affecting the regions far away from the acetabulum, which also have a significant impact on the holistic biomechanical properties of pelvis.MethodsAfter integrating the design experience of custom prostheses and the understanding of biomechanical properties of pelvis, an innovative pelvic defects classification for custom revision was preliminarily proposed, and was practiced in surgeries. Some typical cases were chosen for elucidation in this study, and two observers each evaluated their CT data independently twice. Intraobserver and interobserver agreement were calculated using the kappa statistic to evaluate the reliability. The pelvis defects were classified into five types and two subtypes. The corresponding reconstruction principles, as the main basis to support the classification, were also described in detail. Prosthesis position examination and Harris hip score were utilized to evaluate the clinical outcome.ResultsThe installed prostheses resulted in high concordance with preoperative position planning, significantly improved Harris score, low postoperative complication rate and no re-revision case. In addition, The interobserver and intraobserver agreement were both excellent.ConclusionThe presenting revision system for complex pelvic defects utilizing 3D-printed custom prosthesis and corresponding classification of pelvic defects can preliminarily guide patients' grouping and prosthesis design, and may potentially provide an innovative, feasible, and efficient basis for complex total hip arthroplasty (THA) revision.Translational potential statementThis study provides a novel method for prosthetic revision of peri-acetabular pelvic defects, and is expected to systematically improve the efficiency of prosthesis design and surgery in clinical practice.
