A1: Custom-made surgical guides
The individual template (or customized surgical guides) approach has been originally developed and evaluated in different clinical applications in orthopaedic surgery in the early 1990s. Meanwhile, applications in other disciplines such as cranio-facial surgery as well as dental implantology have been established. Due to its intraoperative simplicity and intuitive handling together with a proven effectiveness and efficiency for selected applications, the individual template approach today is adopted by many clinicians and companies world wide. The workshop will provide a critical review of the benefits and bottlenecks of the template technique - from a historical review to its actual techniques and applications.
The workshop will include topics such as
- Information acquisition and preprocessing (CT, MR, initial approaches, current techniques and future trends...)
- Planning systems for different applications
- Manufacturing approaches and techniques
- Surgical techniques and applications
- Clinical outcomes review
- Usability and workflow considerations
