| Summary: | © 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. The purpose of this study is to investigate the femoral neck angulation for prediction of the complication associated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) surgery and hip deformity. Three sample patients' MRI images were selected to calculate the femoral neck angles. A total of six femur head geometries were reconstructed and three dimensional (3D) models printed. The calculation of neck angles was done in both computer models and 3D-printed models. Our results showed that 3D-printed models achieved high accuracy and provided the physical measurements, when compared to the computer models could not confirm. Neck angulations related to uncomplicated DHS surgery ranged between 129°-139°, and non-deformity of normal neck angles ranged between 120°-135°. Our study indicated that patient-specific 3D printed femoral head models provide useful information for medical education and assist DHS surgery. Further research based on a large sample size is necessary. |
