The use of 3D printed models for the pre-operative planning of surgical correction of pediatric hip deformities: a case series and concise review of the literature.
Review in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimThree-dimensional (3D) printing is prevailing in surgical planning of complex cases. The aim of this study is to describe the use of 3D printed models during the surgical planning for the treatment of four pediatric hip deformity cases. Moreover, pediatric pelvic deformities analyzed by 3D printed models have been object of a concise review.
methodsAll treated patients were females, with an average age of 5 years old. Patients' dysplastic pelvises were 3D-printed in real scale using processed files from Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Data about 3D printing, surgery time, blood loss and fluoroscopy have been recorded.
resultsThe Zanoli-Pemberton or Ganz-Paley osteotomies were performed on the four 3D printed models, then the real surgery was performed in the operating room. Time and costs to produce 3D printed models were respectively on average 17:26 h and 34.66 €. The surgical duration took about 87.5 min while the blood loss average was 1.9 ml/dl. Fluoroscopy time was 21 sec. MRI model resulted inaccurate and more difficult to produce. 10 papers have been selected for the concise literature review.
conclusions3D printed models have proved themselves useful in the reduction of surgery time, blood loss and ionizing radiation, as well as they have improved surgical outcomes. 3D printed model is a valid tool to deepen the complex anatomy and orientate surgical choices by allowing surgeons to carefully plan the surgery.
