Osteo3D Fixes Young Girl's Facial Deformities

Dr. Sathish Vasishta and Dr. Derick Mendonca used a 3D printed model of a young girl's skull to plan and perform a pair of surgical procedures called ‘Box Osteotomy’ and 'Facial Bi-Partition' repair deformities. Esther was suffering from excess bone which had impinged between the orbits of her skull, and to correct the condition, the doctors removed bone on either side of mid line of the skull. CT Scan data was used to create a 3D printed model of the patient's skull to help guide the surgeons and help them visualize the result of their work, thanks to the technology of Osteo3d. They say using the 3D printed model drastically reduced the operative time and ensured increased accuracy of the procedure.
