Abstract

Surgical intervention is often indicated for complex multiplanar foot deformities (CMFDs). Addressing the 3D nature of these deformities proves challenging for achieving optimal foot alignment and reoperations are often necessary. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) can aid in the understanding of the multiplanar deformity and determine the osteotomies needed for correction. This study introduces a patient-specific guide (PSG) applied to a CMFD patient undergoing midfoot closing wedge osteotomy. The PSG design allowed for accurate reconstruction of the angular deformity, while allowing for intra-operative translational adjustments. Further improvement of the PSG design was proposed to ensure an even better fit in future applications.

Keyphrases: complex multiplanar foot deformity, patient specific guide, virtual surgical planning
