Leveraging Medacta’s extensive experience in 3D preoperative planning and advanced 3D Metal technology, MyImplant offers innovative custom-fit hip solutions tailored to each patient’s unique anatomical and clinical needs that potentially enhance surgical outcomes and improve the quality of life for patients with complex orthopedic conditions.
In cases of complex acetabular bone loss or deformity, MyImplant for acetabular reconstruction supports surgeons in managing the most challenging cases by restoring anatomy and biomechanics.
MyImplant for acetabular reconstruction is a 3D printed, monobloc customized solution that integrates cup, augment, and flanges into a single titanium component, engineered from CT-based planning with patient-specific* screw fixation to ensure optimal stability.
The implant is complemented with a dedicated set of patient-specific* instruments designed to enhance surgical precision and confidence.
MyImplant offers a comprehensive platform that guides the surgeons through every step of the custom implant journey. This holistic approach is possible thanks to a robust suite of services, advanced surgical techniques, and tailored education programs that ensure a smooth and informed process.
DEDICATED DESIGN SERVICE
The MyImplant engineering team works closely with surgeons to understand clinical needs, integrating feedback into each stage of the design process. The engineers design patient-specific* implants and instruments that aim to restore the native condition while prioritizing bone preservation.
Medacta’s preoperative planning tools leverage advanced software and CT scans of the patient to construct highly detailed 3D bone models. These tools enable precise pre-surgical planning and simulation, helping to achieve a satisfying implant fit and accurate positioning.
Different flange options can be designed to better adapt the construct to the patient’s defect and support stable fixation.
Specific suggestion for bone preparation
A specific suggestion for the reaming process is provided as part of the MyImplant design, helping the surgeon prepare the bone cavity to optimally match the implant geometry.
This tailored guidance ensures proper implant seating and promotes bone preservation, contributing to overall surgical precision and implant stability.
Patient-specific* screw configuration
A patient-specific* screw configuration is planned with optimized selection of screw type (cancellous, cortical, compression polyaxial locking or iliac screws), positioning, trajectory, length, and orientation.
This supports fixation into higher-quality bone for enhanced stability while simplifying intraoperative decision-making.
ENHANCED BONE PRESERVATION
The patient-specific* solution is meticulously engineered to maximize the contact surface between the implant and the existing bone, to find a good compromise between load distribution and the preservation of the native bone structure.
This approach minimizes the need for bone resection, thus prioritizing preservation of the native bone. This preservation is crucial for maintaining the biomechanical integrity and for facilitating a more stable initial fixation, which is essential for potential long-term implant success.
MAXIMIZED PRIMARY STABILITY
Primary stability is ensured by two key factors: the advanced 3D Metal surface and the strategic positioning of screws.
3D Metal Technology
The implants are produced using the 3D Metal technology, Medacta’s in-house additive manufacturing process. 3D Metal implants are engineered with an advanced outer surface designed to achieve intrinsic high friction and a precise scratch-fit[1] with the surrounding bone, contributing to maximized primary stability.
Patient-specific* placement of screws
Patient-specific* placement of screws further enhances primary stability. The customized screw trajectories and positions support fixation and may reduce the need of intraoperative adjustments.
COMPLETE SYSTEM
MyImplant for acetabular reconstruction is seamlessly compatible with all the components of the Medacta Hip implant portfolio, establishing a versatile synergy between customized and standard implant options. This provides a wide range of complete constructs to address each surgeon’s and patient’s needs in complex cases of acetabular bone loss or deformity.
