Die Entwicklung eines einfach zu bedienenden Viewers, welcher eine Positionierung des B-FMT im Felsenbeinmodell ermöglicht und hier auf individuelle potenzielle anatomische Konflikte hinweist sowie Lösungsmöglichkeiten anbietet, kann ein hilfreiches Werkzeug zur präoperativen Positionierung sein. Ziel der Arbeit war die Definition von Anforderungen und die Anfertigung eines Prototyps eines Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewers. Auf der Basis einer ZIBAmira-Software-Version und der Inklusion eines B-FMT-Modells unter Erstellung eines Felsenbeinmodells, welches die intuitive Beurteilung von Konflikten ermöglicht, erfolgte die Erstellung des Prototyps eines Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewers.Ergebnisse. Die Segmentierungszeit der individuellen DICOM-Daten („digital imaging and communications in medicine“) beträgt etwa 5 min. Eine Positionierung im individuellen 3-D-Felsenbeinmodell ermöglicht die quantitative und qualitative Beurteilung von Konflikten (Sinus sigmoideus, mittlere Schädelgrube) und das Aufsuchen einer bevorzugten Position. Das Anheben des B-FMT mittels virtueller Unterlegscheiben kann simuliert werden. Der erstellte Vibrant-Bonebridge-Viewer ermöglicht verlässlich eine Simulation der B-FMT-Positionierung. Die klinische Anwendbarkeit muss evaluiert werden.

A radiological based preoperative planning of the surgical procedure decreases the surgical time and minimizes the risk of complications. We developed a software tool, which allows a catch up of foreign DICOM data based CT temporal bone scans. The individual CT scan is transmitted into a 3D reconstructed pattern of the temporal bone. In this 3D reconstruction the individually favored position of the B- FMT should be found. The software allows a determination of a safe B-FMT position by identifying the individual relation of middle fossa, jugular bulb and external auditory canal. Skull thickness and screw length are contained parameters for the surgical planning. An easy to handle software tool allows a radiologically data based safe and fast surgical positioning of the B-FMT.

Quantitative data concerning these changes have not been previously available, to our knowledge, yet are essential to understand individual experiences of total knee arthroplasty and thereby improve outcomes for all patients. The limiting factor has been the challenge of accurately measuring these changes. Our study objective was to develop a conceptual framework and analysis method to investigate changes in knee shape and geometry, and prospectively apply it to a sample total knee arthroplasty population. Using clinically available computed tomography and radiography imaging systems, the three-dimensional knee shape and geometry of nine patients (eight varus and one valgus) were compared before and after total knee arthroplasty. All patients had largely good outcomes after their total knee arthroplasty. Knee shape changed both visually and numerically. On average, the distal condyles were slightly higher medially and lower laterally (range: +4.5 mm to −4.4 mm), the posterior condyles extended farther out medially but not laterally (range: +1.8 to −6.4 mm), patellofemoral distance increased throughout flexion by 1.8–3.5 mm, and patellar thickness alone increased by 2.9 mm (range: 0.7–5.2 mm). External femoral rotation differed preop and postop. Joint line distance, taking cartilage into account, changed by +0.7 to −1.5 mm on average throughout flexion. Important differences in shape and geometry were seen between pre-total knee arthroplasty and post-total knee arthroplasty knees. While this is qualitatively known, this is the first study to report it quantitatively, an important precursor to identifying the reasons for the poor outcome of some patients. Using the developed protocol and visualization techniques to compare patients with good versus poor clinical outcomes could lead to changes in implant design, implant selection, component positioning, and surgical technique. Recommendations based on this sample population are provided. Intraoperative and postoperative feedback could ultimately improve patient satisfaction.
