Here is another use of allografts. 🧩

This reconstruction was used to bridge the defect of an opening osteotomy on a distal radius to treat Madelung disease. The parallelepiped bone graft was optimally matching the opening which is of utmost importance to obtain the exact planned angle.

Therefore, two guides and an aligner were planned: a first cutting guide to make the opening in the patient's radius level, a second cutting guide to shape the allograft and an aligner to bring the distal bone fragment to its the planned position.

It was then possible to simply slide the graft on the patient to obtain the planned correction.

Finally the last step was to adapt the last side of the graft using the provided bone model.

With this easy technique the graft perfectly matches the gap : keep it simple

Did you know? 3D-Cut also offers guided resection for the sacrum.

Did you know? 3D-Cut also offers guided resection for the sacrum.

In France, a portion of our bone tumor resection guides are specifically tailored for Chordoma resections.

Wondering why?

First, there's a reimbursement for these interventions. But that's not all!

Our guide primarily aims to:

✅ Reduce OR time

✅ Minimize blood loss

✅ Enhance resection precision

✅ Preserve nerves and joints

Not to mention our 510(k) on 3D-Cut covers this indication as well 🎯

We're committed to providing surgeons with increased comfort, bolstered confidence in outcomes, better anticipation, and more efficient preparation. Before, during, and after surgery, we prioritize what matters most: our patients' quality of life. 🏥💪🩺

Flash Back

In March 2022, we launched Archer™ 3D Targeting Software in partnership with Catalyst OrthoScience

Archer™ 3D Targeting Software is an innovative preoperative shoulder planning software, whose mission is to help the surgeons to fully understand their patient pathology and to deliver a personalized surgical plan prior to the surgery. After a little over a year, over 500 patients have benefited from this individualized treatment in full synergy between both engineering teams and Catalyst surgeons.

As we are constantly dedicated to patient care, we have worked hard to improve the surgeon's experience with a new look and feel of the preoperative planning. We are excited to announce that our latest software release in May 2023 has brought another round of updates to our userbase that have been well received, and we are working hard on the next generation of tools with our top Catalyst surgeon users and engineers.

“I’ve been utilizing Archer™ 3D Targeting Software this past year for most of my pre-operative planned cases, and the software is a great blend of speed and simplicity for getting the data I need to feel comfortable heading into each of my cases. The humeral planning software is a game changer. It really improves my understanding of the true humeral head in deformity cases and provides me more confidence in the OR to precisely recreate the patient's native anatomy. The Catalyst and 3D-Side engineering teams have been receptive and responsive to me and my colleagues feedback and the product is ever improving because of this. This is important to me as a surgeon, so I can have access to the best tools at my disposal for patient treatment.” – Dr. Patrick Noud
