Surgical treatment of patient with osteomyelitis of the hip using preoperative 3D modeling and “Autoplan” software suite

The article presents a clinical case of treatment of a patient with chronic post-traumatic osteomyelitis of the femur. A fundamentally important point was the analysis of the CT scan results in the Autoplan hardware and software complex (APC) system according to the developed method and the construction of a 3D model of the lower extremities. As a result, the osteomyelitis focus was visualized. Based on the 3D model and using the intraoperative navigation of the “Autoplan” software suite, the patient underwent a femoral sequester-necrectomy. The assessment of the immediate and long-term treatment results was carried out.
