Tumour resections, revisions and complex cases can bring a unique set of challenges to the orthopaedic surgeon. These challenges, combined with the great anatomical variation of each patient, are proving that off-the-shelf implants and instrumentation are fairly limited for complex cases. With the advent of 3D modelling revolutionizing surgical planning, 3D technologies are now an obvious choice for visualizing and planning cases before even stepping foot into the operating room.

To allow you to have access to the latest in software technology, Bodycad created BC OnCall Consulting Services with the mission to boost accuracy, safety and efficiency in the operating room.

Bodycad offers orthopaedic surgeons a way to simulate optimal solutions to resect a tumour with its proprietary software. With the help of 3D planning, surgeons can now find the perfect compromise between security margins and healthy bone preservation.

Once the solution is selected, Bodycad will provide you with:

• Bone models to increase the comprehension of the patient’s situation
• Patient-specific cutting guides to help during the procedure
• As appropriate, cutting guides for allograft to create the ideal void filler following the tumour resection

Using a novel approach based on published literature specific to the principles of orthopaedic correction, surgeons will be able to achieve a personalized restoration with the precise anatomical specifications of each patient.

In collaboration with Bodycad’s clinical engineers, surgeons will be able to leverage their creativity with access to a library of a multitude of approaches and 3D correction angles. In addition, they will be able to easily view and plan using preoperative and postoperative measures for every simulation.
Once the desired correction is selected, Bodycad will provide surgeons with:

• Preoperative and postoperative bone models to increase surgeons’s comprehension of the patient’s situation
• Patient-specific cutting guides to help during the procedure
