Case Summary:
LUMiC for Right Pelvic Angiosarcoma
LUMiC for Right Pelvic Angiosarcoma
Patient Diagnosis:
The patient was diagnosed with an osteosarcoma that had invaded the acetabulum. Communications from the surgical team detailed that the patient was suffering from secondary bone metastases, requiring urgent surgical care.
Planned Procedure/Approach:
The surgeon requested assistance in the planning of an extraarticular Type II/ III resection of the osteosarcoma that would maximize bone conservation to enable reconstruction with a LUMiC cup implant. The surgeon would utilize a lateral approach to the hip.
What Insight Surgery provided:
- Patient-specific 3D virtual and 3D printed anatomical models
- 2 Virtual surgical plans – One based on a 10mm margins, the other on 5mm margins
- Surgical Cutting Guide – To be used to resect the right hemipelvis
- Surgical Drilling Guide – To be used to help define an optimum trajectory for the guide wire for a subsequent LUMiC implant on the resected anatomy
- Rapid Turnaround – within 5 days of receiving the surgeon’s instruction, Insight Surgery rapidly designed, manufactured, and delivered multiple medical devices
Outcome/Benefits:
- The surgeon commented – “The patient had an unfortunate and significant progression of disease despite chemotherapy that necessitated a change of surgical plans with a tight window. With the expert help and a true collaborative effort from the teams at Insight and ImplantCast, we were able to implement a precise and patient-specific plan for the patient that made our surgery more efficient and optimized the outcome for the patient. I am thankful for the support and the efficiency with which this was delivered.”
