CurveBeam’s weight-bearing CT (WBCT) imaging systems now include specific protocols for Exactech’s Vantage® Ankle PSI, patient-specific instrumentation created in collaboration with 3D Systems.
Vantage Ankle PSI is reportedly the only ankle system that accepts WBCT datasets of solely the foot and ankle region for pre-surgical planning and 3D-printing of patient-specific cutting guides. Users of CurveBeam pedCAT and pedCAT Premium WBCT systems can submit foot and ankle scans to the Vantage Ankle PSI.
WBCT imaging reveals functional inversion/eversion of the ankle that is not presented on supine CT. Using WBCT to assess foot and ankle alignment in three dimensions may help to prevent osteolysis.
“Building on the success of our Vantage Total Ankle System, we wanted to continue to provide clinically-relevant and innovative solutions to our surgeon customers to further our mission of making patients more mobile. This patient-specific instrument solution was an important next step for us, providing real benefits to both the surgeon and patient,” said Exactech’s Vice President of Extremities, Chris Roche.
