AMMAN — A specialized medical team at the Orthopedics Department of Al-Bashir Hospitals achieved a remarkable milestone on October 3.
They successfully conducted a left hip joint replacement surgery on a
40-year-old patient who had been suffering from a congenital deformity in her
thigh bone since childhood. This condition had led to the deterioration of her
left hip joint, causing her significant pain and hindering her mobility.
This groundbreaking surgery employed cutting-edge techniques
introduced for the first time within the Ministry of Health and the medical sector in the Kingdom, Khaberni reported. These advanced methods rely on
Digital Templating, a computerized digital planning process, and the
utilization of 3D printing to create a geometric model for precise thigh bone
alignment.
3D printed surgical cutting guide
Additionally, a 3D printed surgical cutting guide was used.
The model was meticulously designed by Dr. Romel Amro, an expert in orthopedic
and joint surgery at Al-Bashir Hospitals. It was created locally using 3D
printing technology and special sterilizable materials, ensuring compatibility
with the surgical procedure.
This cutting-edge technology facilitates highly precise
surgical alignments without the need for intraoperative X-rays, thereby
reducing surgical complications, shortening the time spent in the operating
room, and minimizing radiation exposure for both the medical staff and the
patient. These improvements positively impact surgical outcomes and the overall
health of the patient.
