Application value of 3D printing guide plate in superPATH technology for elderly hip arthroplasty: Retrospective study and evidence analysis of literature retrieval / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Hip arthroplasty is now an effective method of effectively solving the problem of femoral neck fracture in the elderly, but there is a risk of big trauma, high joint dislocation and postoperative complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the application value of 3D printing guide plate in hip arthroplasty in the elderly by retrospective study and literature retrieval. METHODS: (1) Clinical data of 25 elderly patients with femoral neck fracture undergoing hip arthroplasty from February 2017 to October 2018 in Liaoning Jinqiu Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. In the guide plate group, 13 patients received hip arthroplasty using 3D printing guide plate. In the non-guide plate group, printing guide plate was not used in 12 cases. The application value of SuperPATH technique with 3D printing guide plate in hip arthroplasty in the elderly was observed. (2) Wanfang database was retrieved by the first author for studies published from 2000 to 2019. The key words were “3D, hip”. According to the inclusion criteria, 31 articles were selected to analyze the application value of 3D printing guide plate in hip arthroplasty in the elderly. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The results of retrospective analysis showed that the operation time and the times of X-ray fluoroscopy were less in the guide plate group than those in the non-guide plate group (P 0.05). (2) Literature search results showed that 3D guide plates could be used to compensate for some defects of surgery in hip arthroplasty. There are many approaches to implement joint arthroplasty. Both conventional and minimally invasive approaches have direct anterior approach and posterolateral approach. According to several literature analysis, direct anterolateral approach can reduce trauma, and minimally invasive approach can reduce the risk of surgery. The above results show that the use of 3D printing guide plate in elderly hip arthroplasty can reduce the operation time and the times of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy, and the effect is better. 3D guide plate has application value in hip arthroplasty, and it has advantages in combination with minimally invasive techniques.
