What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating advanced surgical simulation techniques to correct skeletal defects and deformities in children, adolescents, and young adults with musculoskeletal disorders. These disorders involve complex and rare abnormalities in bone formation and growth, often affecting multiple limbs and requiring precise correction. The study focuses on improving surgical outcomes by using Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), Computer-Aided Surgical Simulation (CASS), and customized implants and surgical tools created through 3D printing. The intervention involves surgeries to correct bone deformities using preoperative planning and patient-specific instruments such as sterilizable 3D-printed devices tailored to each patient's anatomy. These advanced tools and simulations aim to enhance the accuracy, safety, and reproducibility of surgical procedures. The study is conducted at specialized centers equipped with 3D laboratories designed for detailed surgical simulation and planning. Participants will undergo assessments to measure skeletal corrections at the start of the study and after one year. Researchers will monitor surgical time and the quality of corrections achieved using the innovative 3D planning methods. The goal is to expand and standardize surgical simulation procedures to improve treatment quality. The study includes ongoing follow-up with radiological exams to evaluate surgical outcomes over time.
