This paper describes rapid prototyping (RP) and reverse engineering (RE) application for orthopedic surgery planning to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the orthopedic surgery. Using the symmetrical characteristics of the human body, CAD data of undamaged bone of the injured area are generated from a mirror transformation of undamaged bone data for the uninjured area. The physical model before the injury is manufactured from Poly jet RP process. The surgical plan, including the selection of the proper implant, pre-forming of the implant and decision of fixation positions, etc., is determined by a physical simulation using the physical model. In order to examine the applicability and efficiency of the surgical planning technology, two case studies, such as a distal tibia comminuted fracture and an iliac wing fracture of pelvis, are carried out. From the results of the examination, it has been shown that the RP and RE can be applied to orthopedic surgical planning and can be an efficient surgical tool.

The Latarjet procedure is a surgical procedure that can effectively restore glenohumeral stability, especially in patients with anterior shoulder instability and glenoid bone loss. Many studies have shown comparable clinical outcomes between patients undergoing the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure and those undergoing traditional open methods or other glenohumeral joint stabilization procedures. However, the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure is a challenging technique due to the unfamiliar portal placements, proximity of neurovascular structures, and serious postoperative complications. The arthroscopic Latarjet procedure has not yet been widely applied, and a clear understanding of the anatomical structure and the precise methods is required prior to operation performance. Satisfactory clinical outcomes can be achieved by thorough preoperative planning and proper implant fixation methods.

This work has been directed at studying and developing a prototype Computer Aided Design(CAD) tool to be used for planning tendon paths in hand reconstructive surgery. The application of CAD to rehabilitative surgery of the hand is a new field of endeavor. There are currently no existing systems designed to assist the orthopedic surgeon in planning these complex peocedures. Additionally, orthopedic surgeons are not trained in mechanics, kinematics, math modeling, or the use of computers. It was also our intent to study the mechanisms and the efficacy of the application of CAD techniques to this important aspect of hand surgery. The following advances are reported here: Interactive 3D tendon path definition tools., Software to calculate tendon excursion from an arbitrary tendon path crossing any number of joints., A model to interactively compute and display the foirces in muscle and tendon., A workstation environment to help surgeons evaluate the consequences of a simulated tendon transfer operation when a tendon is lengthened, rerouted, or reattached in a mew location., It also has been one of the primary concerns in this work that an interactive graphical surgical workstation must present a natural, user-friendly environment to the orthopedic durgeon user. The surgical workstation must ultimately aid the surgeon in helping his patient or in doing his work more efficiently or more reliably.

비록 수술적 치료의 발전에 의해 부정유합의 발생은 감소하였으나 복합적 골절 또는 동반된 손상 등으로 인하여 드물지 않은 합병증이다. 관절 연골에 과한 하중이나 관절의 불안정성이 예상되는 부정유합이 있다면 교정 절골술이 필요하다. 부정유합에 대한 절골술을 시행하기 위해서는 수술 전 계획이 매우 중요하다. 적절한 계획이 없을 경우 의인성 부정정렬, 수술중 골절, 변형의 재발, 연부조직의 손상과 같은 심각한 합병증이 따르게 된다. 또한 적절한 환자를 선택하지 않았을 경우 불량한 기능적 결과가 나타날 수 있다. 본 종설은 부정유합을 치료하기 위하여 수술적 적응증, 수술 전 계획, 그리고 수술방법과 고정물 종류에 따른 다양한 교정 절골술의 방법에 대하여 기술하였다.

Background: There is no standardized therapeutic strategy for locked posterior shoulder fracture-dislocation (PSFD), and no consensus exists on the analysis of preoperative factors. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate functional results and complications in a series of PSFD cases managed with open surgical treatment. Methods: Patients diagnosed with locked PSFD who underwent open surgical treatment with reduction and osteosynthesis between April 2016 and March 2020 were included. All participants were treated with open reduction and internal fixation. Functional assessment used the modified University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) mod scale, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) questionnaire, subjective shoulder value (SSV), and visual analog scale (VAS). Complications were evaluated clinically and radiologically by X-ray and computed tomography. Results: Twelve shoulders were included (11 patients; mean age, 40.6 years; range, 19- 62 years). The mean follow-up duration was 23.3 months (range, 12-63 months). The UCLA mod, ASES, SSV, and VAS scores were 29.1±3.7, 81.6±13.5, 78±14.8, and 1.2±1.4 points, respectively. The overall complication rate was 16.6%, with one case of post-traumatic stiffness, 1 case of chronic pain, and no cases of avascular necrosis. Conclusions: Open surgical treatment of locked PSFD can achieve good functional results. A correct understanding of these injuries and good preoperative planning helped us to achieve a low rate of complications.

Acetabular dysplasia is a condition defined by inadequate development of an individual's acetabulum. Individual diversity of the symptoms in this disease needs safe and accurate preoperative planning. Technologies that utilize multidimensional image information are thus important. The assessment method by Janzen et al. was suggested a coefficient method in evaluation of acetabular dysplasia. In this study, we applied it, using a three-dimensional computed tomography (3D CT) on the koreans. 19 cases of the normal hips and 4 cases of the acetabular dysplasia were investigated to evaluate the proved method; 3D CT was used to define the geometric center of the femoral head and to measure center edge angles at $10^{\circ}$ rotational increments around the acetabular rim. Mean and standard deviation in CEAs (Center Edge Angle) of normal 19 hips at $10^{\circ}$ rotational increments from anterior to posterior rim were determined, and termed as a 'normal curve'. Then this normal values were compared with the CEA data measured from 4 cases of acetabular dysplasia patiens. Quantative comparison of the CEA values between the normal cases and dysplasia cases was successfully demonstrated, and thus, we claim that this simple CT method of assessing acetabular dysplasia can be well applicable to diagnosis, quantification and surgical planning for adult acetabular dysplasia patients.

삼차원(three-dimensional, 3D) 프린팅의 사용은 점차 보편화되고 있으며 정형외과 영역에서도 그 활용이 늘어나고 있다. 현재 정형외과에서 3D 프린팅 기술을 사용하는 방법은 크게 네 가지로 첫째, 3D 프린팅 모델을 이용한 수술 계획 수립 및 수술 시뮬레이션, 둘째, 환자 맞춤형 수술 기구, 셋째, 3D 적층 기법을 이용한 인공 삽입물의 생산, 넷째, 3D 프린팅으로 제작된 환자 맞춤형 삽입물이다. 3D 프린팅 기술을 사용할 수 있는 정형외과의 영역은 견관절, 척추, 고관절 및 골반, 슬관절, 족관절, 종양 분야 등으로, 각각의 영역마다 다루는 질환 및 특성이 다르기 때문에 3D 프린팅 기술을 사용하는 방법 역시 각각의 영역에 따라 약간의 차이가 있다. 하지만 모든 영역에서 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용하는 것은 수술의 효율을 높여 주고, 수술 시간을 단축시키며 수술 중 방사선 노출을 줄여 준다. 3D 프린팅 기술은 특히 복잡하고 어려운 질환이나 골절 환자의 치료에 큰 도움을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 정형외과 의사는 이러한 3D 프린팅 기술의 장점을 이해하고 임상에 최대한 적용하여 효율적인 환자의 치료가 이루어질 수 있도록 해야 한다.

This paper reviews the indications and surgical technique of supramalleolar osteotomy as one of the treatments for moderate degenerative ankle osteoarthritis. Although it is technically demanding and requires extensive preoperative planning, supramalleolar osteotomy will be a good treatment option for moderate degenerative ankle osteoarthritis. The osteotomy is designed to shift the weight bearing axis to the lateral side of the ankle joint and unload the medial side of the joint. In our experience, a supramalleolar osteotomy is effective to the treatment of moderate ankle osteoarthritis with a small amount of preoperative talar tilt and varus or normal heel alignment.

The posterior malleolar fracture is relatively common fracture of the foot and ankle, but several aspects of this are still controversial. If the posterior malleolus is involved in the ankle fracture, the prognosis is usually poor. A computed tomography scan is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Although indirect reduction and the anterior to posterior screw fixation technique have the advantages of a small incision with the requirement of relatively simple skills, direct open reduction and fixation from the posterior side provide a more biomechanically stable and accurate reduction. The precise reduction of the posterior malleolar fragment helps to achieve congruency of the tibia and fibula in the incisura and contributes to syndesmotic stability. It is important to determine the indications for surgical treatment by comprehensively evaluating the three-dimensional structure of the posterior malleolar fracture and all related injuries to the ankle.
