SECTRA 3D Trauma - for Fracture Fixation & Deformity Correction
Admin
Plan your Op. with JARVIS! - #NeoArmory
Remember Jarvis? Ironman’s augmented reality enabled supercomputer which can digitally dismantle things to study them. What if you can do the same for planning a complex fracture fixation??
Introducing “SECTRA 3D Trauma”, from Sweden!
It uses input from a CT scan to give you a digital 3D model that can be used for pre-op planning. You can color code fracture fragments, move them around and reduce them, the ‘explode’ option moves the fragments away and they can be reconstructed one by one. An extensive library of implants from the major manufacturers can be used for templating. Also, contour the plates and measure the screw sizes. You can export the final plan to the 3D printer. It has its utility in spinal deformity correction and osteotomy as well
The benefits are for you to imagine.
Good reproducibility, better reduction accuracy, and improved operative efficacy have been noted in some studies. Cost is the only downside.
