ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
Single use patient-specific instruments (PSI) for total knee prosthesis are introduced as a new alternative to conventional ancillaries and computer assisted surgery by improving implants positioning. An exhaustive review was carried out to identify their specific characteristics, with their advantages and disadvantages.METHODS:
Medical devices suppliers were consulted in 2015 for reviewing their PSI. Their technical, clinical and economic data were compared. The results had been submitted to an orthopaedics expert commission of our university hospital for clinical and financial opinion.RESULTS:
Ten companies have provided the documentation for the analysis. PSI are manufactured by suppliers using a three dimensional printing method based on CT scans or MRI images. PSI are produced according to the surgeon's preferences after a preliminary data check, which can be performed by the suppliers' engineers, the surgeon and automatic calculation. Five suppliers can produce sterile PSI with optional delivery of 3D bone models. According to the experts, the studies failed to demonstrate the superiority of a PSI or hospital economic gain. The prices listed remain high and operating room time is not always significantly reduced.CONCLUSIONS:
With the development of personalized medicine, the role of PSI grows in importance. They facilitate the surgeon's work by fully respecting the anatomy. These systems offer an interesting perspective in their technical and pedagogical aspects. But it seems premature to take them into routine use given the low number of high-level studies that were currently done.Palavras-chave
