CurveBeam AI Cast – Reimaging Patient-Specific Deformity Correction Planning
The foot and ankle are complex structures comprised of 26 small bones and 29 muscles. With so many structures and an incredible amount of variation in how deformities can present, surgical corrections aren’t so simple. For example, there are more than 100 operations that can be performed for hallux valgus deformities, commonly known as bunions. 3D planning helps to address the variations and nuances of foot and ankle surgeries to assist in obtaining optical post-surgical outcomes.
How is one company, RedPoint Medical 3D, making 3D planning more accessible to orthopedic surgeons?
On this episode of CurveBeam AI, host Lew Schon, MD, Director of Orthopedic Innovation at the Institute of Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center, speaks with Dr. Adam Perler, DPM, Co-Founder & Chief Innovations Officer at RedPoint Medical 3D and Surgeon at Alexander Orthopaedic Associates, to discuss the RedPoint Medical 3D has created a vendor-agnostic, streamlined process for 3D modeling, custom surgical planning, and 3D printed cut guides.
Dr. Schon and Dr. Perler also discussed…
- The role that 3D printing plays in helping surgeons visualize their surgical approaches
- How older and more experienced surgeons have reacted to the redpointing philosophy
- What the process of redpointing looks like from receiving a 3D CT scan to the point of the surgical procedure
