2017 Summer UROP project: Cutting accuracy of PSI in orthaopedic surgery

Location: MSK lab, Charing Cross Hospital, Imperial College London, UK.

Supervisors: Dr Martin Jaere, Dr Edouard Auvinet

The cutting accuracy of 3D printed PSI is vital in joint-preserving surgery while the investigation of cutting accuracy of PSI is still lacking. The hypothesis is that the depth of the blade-guiding slot of PSI is the primary factor in operation accuracy. Thus, this UROP project was aiming at comparing the cutting accuracy of PSIs with cutting guides at different depths with the 3D scanning technology.

The experimental results will be presented as a short talk at a workshop as part of the International Society for Technology in Arthroplasty (ISTA) 2018 conference in London.
