3D Printing Assisted
Bilateral Equinocavovarus Correction with 3D Printing
A bilateral severe equinocavovarus deformity, disabling daily life, corrected after a full surgical rehearsal was performed on a 3D-printed bone model.
Patient Age
29 Years
MECHANISM
Congenital deformity
PRESENTATION
Unable to Perform Daily Activities
APPROACH
3D Model Rehearsal, Bilateral Correction
01
Clinical Rationale
A severe bilateral equinocavovarus deformity left this patient unable to carry out ordinary daily tasks. The entire correction sequence was performed first on a printed bone model, so the real operation followed a plan rather than discovering the anatomy live.
02
Surgical Approach
A 3D-printed bone model was prepared and a full surgical rehearsal — 'surgery before surgery' — was performed on it before the actual operation, allowing a planned, efficient correction of the complex bilateral deformity.
02
Imaging & Progression
Pre-operative imaging, intra-operative views and post-operative results. Each slot maps to a CMS image field — drop in the matching consented file from the case folder.
#1
3D-printed bone models help a lot in planning a complex surgery.
#2
Surgical rehearsal before surgery reduces operative time significantly.
#3
The 3D model is a boon for seamless planning of challenging deformities.
#4
'Surgery before surgery' on the model de-risks a severe bilateral correction.
04
Clinical Care Points
RIGHT SIDE
- i) 3D-printed bone model prepared
ii) Surgical rehearsal on model
iii) Planned bilateral correction
iv) Reduced intra-operative guesswork
LEFT SIDE
- i) Same modelled plan applied to left
ii) Rehearsed correction sequence
iii) Bilateral deformity addressed
iv) Restored daily-life function

Bilateral Equinocavovarus Correction with 3D Printing
A bilateral severe equinocavovarus deformity, disabling daily life, corrected after a full surgical rehearsal was performed on a 3D-printed bone model.
A 29-year-old man presented with severe deformity of both feet, marked by equinus and cavus with varus components. He walked through the balls and outer borders of his feet, developing painful corns and callosities that interfered with daily activities. Because the deformity affected several planes on both sides, conventional two-dimensional planning offered only a partial view of the problem.
