T3Ddy - Pediatric 3D technology’s Post

Did you miss Medacta's "Meet the Expert" Webinar featuring the MyHip Planner software? Click below to discover the benefits of the technology, follow along with a surgeon-led case review, learn valuable tips, and watch an engaging Q&A session. This surgeon-operated CT-based software enables user creation of patient-specific pre-operative 3D plans. Using automatic and precise 3D reconstruction and real-time post-operative dynamic simulation, it tailors implant choice and position based on anatomy, hip joint biomechanics, and functional needs. Streamlining the protocol for 3D anatomical assessment assists surgeons in optimizing implant selection and positioning, anticipating complications, and detecting risks like impingement and reduced range of motion.

We are proud to celebrate the completion of 100 cases using Medacta's NextAR Knee application by John J. Mercuri, MD, MA. "As a surgeon performing Total Knee Arthroplasty, the NextAR platform has revolutionized how I achieve Kinematic Alignment by precisely tracking the ligaments and soft tissues. Its advanced augmented reality guidance provides real-time visualization of the knee's dynamic environment, enabling me to optimize the position of the GMK SpheriKA based on the patient’s unique anatomy and biomechanics. This technology has streamlined my surgical workflow and has elevated my ability to provide personalized outcomes for my patients. NextAR is yet another example of how Medacta is advancing the standard of care in Total Knee Arthroplasty," states Dr. Mercuri. The NextAR Knee application implements smart delivery tools to significantly impact advanced planning, intraoperative execution, and healthcare sustainability. Through advanced 3D planning tools, a revolutionary, compact, and integrated single-use tracking system, and augmented reality, NextAR Knee enables data-driven decision-making. #innovation #technology #kneesurgery #orthopedic

Every day, the team at 3D Systems Corporation designs personalized models, implants, and instruments to help surgeons plan patient-specific cases. It is this experience that enables us to assist when it comes to the most complex of surgeries. Conjoined twin separations are the most intricate and involved cases for which our team is privileged to provide design, modeling and planning support. In this video, Joe Fullerton highlights full-color models of the neurovascular anatomy, soft tissue models to help with reconstruction and plastic surgeries, and sterilizable models for use in the OR for reference or for pre-contouring reconstruction plates. Discover how we combine software, guidance from surgeons, and team expertise to contribute to successful separations:  https://lnkd.in/gti8Ecgy   You can see the impact of #patientspecific planning in Dayton Children's Hospital's comprehensive and poignant documentary following the road to separation of exceptionally rare #conjoinedtwins.

#VCBeat #VB100 #VBEF #MedicalNews #Constant 💥 Constant (Jusheng Medical) has developed a PEEK skull repair system around PEEK materials. Compared with traditional skull reconstruction materials, using PEEK material for skull repair has lower complications and better aesthetic effects. Moreover, based on CT or MRI scanning data, skull surgeons can also use CAD/CAM systems for personalized prosthesis design, thereby designing PEEK implants that accurately match the patient's skull. 🧪More medical consultations & news follow us!

📚 There exist large bodies of literature evaluating ideal porous microstructures for use in bone-tissue engineering constructs, since the 1990’s. 💿 Recent advances in software capability coupled with computational analysis have allowed an unprecedented push into highly complex advanced lattices for bone-tissue applications. 🙇🏽 Additive Surgical has been fortunate to work with some brilliant people to help develop the next generation of lattice structures to incorporate into our new range of spine implants. Feeling grateful 🙏🏽. 🔬🥼One of these advanced lattices that we are utilising has very impressive attributes. This lattice boasts a 93% open volume with similarly huge amounts of surface area, while maintaining the needed mechanical strength with a very low Compressive Modulus. Check out the little video clip 🎥. 💡Our new range of spine implants has multiple, distinct lattice structures incorporated into each implant, intended to address some of the clinical challenges in spinal surgery. 👌🏽 We have an amazing team and are manufacturing in Australia 🇦🇺 to the highest regularoty and quality standards.

🌟 Call for PAPERS🌟 As the aging population grows, knee #osteoarthritis (KOA) cases are on the rise. While Total Knee Replacement is an effective solution, it is typically reserved for the very end stages of KOA. For patients in earlier stages (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 2 or 3) with progressive symptoms, historically there have been fewer surgical options. However, significant advancements in knee-preserving osteotomy and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are changing the landscape. We are excited to announce a Special Issue: "Non-Total Joint #Arthroplasty: Alternative Option for Knee Osteoarthritis Treatment". We invite researchers to contribute their innovative proposals and ideas to advance knee preservative surgeries. 🧬 Basic research on the biomechanics, kinematics, and finite element analysis of #UKA or knee-preserving #osteotomy. 📊 Clinical outcomes of UKA or knee-preserving osteotomy and related techniques. 🤖 Cutting-edge advancements in knee preservation surgery utilizing navigation, robotics, 3D printing, and AI.

See our latest technical article in The Laser User (#AILU ) magazine on optimizing #femtosecond laser pulses for superior quality #micromachining #UVLaser #IceFyreFS https://ow.ly/V9E450QW8ZH Abstract: The ability of the ultrashort pulse (USP) lasers— particularly in the femtosecond regime—to cleanly ablate materials with minimal thermal effects and debris formation makes them an ideal source for a wide range of precision applications in areas such as ophthalmic surgery, medical devices and implants, advanced microelectronics, and flat panel displays. Irrespective of the application, there is a strong demand for higher powers, shorter wavelengths, and newer techniques to increase throughput while maintaining the same excellent quality. Femtosecond lasers in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum with an output of around 50 W and high repetition rates are very promising as they offer a low heat-affected zone. However, at these elevated power levels and pulse frequencies, it can be difficult to achieve high throughput while maintaining a low heat-affected zone (HAZ). There are a few things to consider.
