Consideration for each step required to create accurate 3D printed models from medical imaging data impacts patient care and management. In this paper, a writing group representing the Radiological Society of North America Special Interest Group on 3D Printing (SIG) provides recommendations that have been vetted and voted on by the SIG active membership. This body of work includes appropriate clinical use of anatomic models 3D printed for diagnostic use in the care of patients with specific medical conditions. The recommendations provide guidance for approaches and tools in medical 3D printing, from image acquisition, segmentation of the desired anatomy intended for 3D printing, creation of a 3D-printable model, and post-processing of 3D printed anatomic models for patient care.

Remodeling of the condyle and temporal fossa with destruction of condylar cartilage and subchondral bone leads to postsurgical condylar resorption, with arthralgia and functional limitations. Patients with severe lesions are refractory to conservative treatments, leading to more invasive therapies that range from simple arthrocentesis to open surgery and prosthesis. Although aggressive and with a high risk for the patient, surgical invasive treatments are not always efficient in managing the degenerative lesions. Methods: We propose a regenerative medicine approach using in-vitro expanded autologous cells from nasal septum applied to the first proof-of-concept patient. After the required quality controls, the cells were injected into each joint by arthrocentesis. Results were monitored by functional assays and image analysis using computed tomography. Results: The cell injection fully reverted the condylar resorption, leading to functional and structural regeneration after 6 months.

  • Applications in Spine Surgery and Surgical Technique Guide
    UltraSonic Bone Dissector: Applications in Spine Surgery and Surgical Technique Guide Peyman Pakzaban, MD, FAANS Houston MicroNeurosurgery - Houston, TX Abstract The Misonix BoneScalpel is a novel ultrasonic surgical device that cuts bone and spares soft tissues. This relative selectivity for bone ablation makes BoneScalpel ideally suited for spine applications where bone must be cut adjacent to dura and neural structures. Extensive clinical experience with this device confirms its safety and efficacy in spine surgery. The aim of this report is to describe BoneScalpel’s mechanism of action and the basis for its tissue selectivity, review the expanding clinical experience with BoneScalpel (including the author’s personal experience), and provide a few recommendations and recipes for en bloc bone removal with this revolutionary device. 1 Introduction Mechanism of Action The advent of ultrasonic bone dissection is as Ultrasound is a wave of mechanical energy significant to spine surgery today as the adoption of propagated through a medium such as air, water, or pneumatic drill was several decades ago. Power drills tissue at a specific frequency range. The frequency is liberated spine surgeons from the slow, repetitive, typically above 20,000 oscillations per second fatigue inducing, and occasionally dangerous (20 kHz) and exceeds the audible frequency range, maneuvers that are characteristic of manually hence the name ultrasound. In surgical applications, operated rongeurs. Now ultrasonic dissection with this ultrasonic energy is transferred from a blade to BoneScalpel empowers the surgeon to cut bone with tissue molecules, which begin to vibrate in response. an accuracy and safety that surpasses that of the Whether tissue molecules can tolerate this energy power drill.

There is an unmet need for precise functional reconstruction of native-like cartilage and bone tissues in the craniofacial space and particularly for the temporomandibular joint Downloaded from (TMJ). Current surgical methods suffer from lack of precision and comorbidities and frequently involve multiple operations. Studies have sought to improve craniofacial bone grafts without addressing the cartilage, which is essential to TMJ function. For the human-sized TMJ in the Yucatan minipig model, we engineered autologous, biologically, and anatomically matched cartilage-bone grafts for repairing the ramus-condyle unit (RCU), a geo- metrically intricate structure subjected to complex loading forces. Using image-guided micromilling, anatomically precise scaffolds were created from decellularized bone matrix and infused with autologous adipose-derived http://stm.sciencemag.org/ chondrogenic and osteogenic progenitor cells. The resulting constructs were cultured in a dual perfusion bioreactor for 5 weeks before implantation. Six months after implantation, the bioengineered RCUs maintained their pre- defined anatomical structure and regenerated full-thickness, stratified, and mechanically robust cartilage over the underlying bone, to a greater extent than either autologous bone-only engineered grafts or acellular scaffolds.

Evans, MD, FACS; Raj Vyas, MD; and Alan D. Widgerow, MBBCh, MMed, FACS Abstract Mixed reality, a blending of the physical and digital worlds, can enhance the surgical experience, leading to greater precision, efficiency, and improved outcomes. Various studies across different disciplines have reported encouraging results using mixed reality technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality. To provide a better understanding of the applications and limitations of this technology in plastic surgery, we performed a systematic review of the literature in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The initial query of the National Center for Biotechnology Information database yielded 2544 results, and only 46 articles met our inclusion criteria. The majority of studies were in the field of craniofacial surgery, and uses of mixed reality included preoperative planning, intraoperative guides, and education of surgical trainees. A deeper understanding of mixed reality technologies may promote its integration and also help inspire new and creative applications in healthcare.
