Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to analyze the applicability and advantages of the intraoperative use of a mobile 3D C-arm with multiplanar imaging for surgery of acute proximal humerus fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study 20 patients (11 female, 9 male, median age 70 years, range 35-91 years) with dislocated proximal humerus fractures (6 with 2 segments, 10 with 3 segments and 4 with 4 segments) were included. Preoperatively 3D scanning was performed and a reevaluation of the fracture in comparison to the plain radiographs was performed. After operative treatment another scan was performed to evaluate technical complications. RESULTS: In comparison to the multiplanar reconstructions fracture morphology could not be correctly detected in 5 out of the 20 cases with plain radiographs. The preoperative image quality of the multiplanar reconstructions showed a significantly better assessment in comparison to the image quality with osteosynthesis (p < 0.05). The screws had to be replaced in 5 of the 20 patients. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative 3D imaging with mobile image intensifier enables an accurate analysis of fracture morphology. Furthermore a quasi real time preoperative planning, evaluation of reduction and implant position with immediate operative relevance can be realized.
