Background summary
Accurate Femoral tunnel positioning remains challenging in ACL reconstruction. 80% of technical failures leading to graft failure compromises femoral tunnel misplacement.
A patient specific, 3D printed guide for use during ACL reconstruction has been developed. The feasabiliity and accuracy of the device has been proven in a cadaver studie. This study aims to determine the in vivo accuracy of the patient specific 3D printed guid for femoral tunnel positioning during ACL reconstruction.
Study objective
The patient specific 3D printed femoral guide is accurate
Study design
1. Enrollment. The routinely performed MRI scan of the knee will be used to create a 3D printed patient specific guide for femoral tunnel placement during ACL reconstruction.
2: Day of Surgery: a MRI scan will be performed postoperatively to determine the achieved femoral tunnel position.
The MRI scan and femoral tunnel will be segemented using Mimics Software.
The achieved femoral tunnel position will be compared to the planned femoral tunnel position using Polygon software.
Intervention
ACL reconstruction using the patient specific 3D printed femoral guide
