Evaluation of 3D Printed Surgical Cutting Guides

The PI of this project was: Jason Bleedorn, DVM

This project was funded by: AMERICAN COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS

The term of this project was: June 2019 to July 2020

The number of subjects scanned during this project was: 20

The purpose of this study is to assess the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of surgical bone cutting (osteotomies) using 3D printed surgical guides compared to free-hand osteotomies. Osteotomies are commonly performed, to change the alignment of a bone, in order to repair a damaged joint. . CT scans will be collected for guide design and osteotomy assessment. The study timeline will be 12 months from July 2019 – July 2020.
