Patient-specific 3D models aid planning for triplane proximal femoral osteotomy in slipped capital femoral epiphysis

Abstract

Purpose slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) can result in a complex three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the proximal femur. A three-plane proximal femoral osteotomy (TPFO) has been described to improve hip mechanics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the benefits of using 3D print technology to aid in surgical planning.
