Our design consists of four 3D printed components: superior guide, acetabular support, hand guide, and indicator rod. The fifth component is a tool commonly employed in surgeries, which are Steinmann pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUPERIOR GUIDE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The superior guide is molded to the superior region above the acetabulum on a patient’s pelvis. It is also molded around the acetabular rim for a close fit without any rotational or translational movements possible. This component guides the placement for three Steinmann pins to be inserted into the patients hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACETABULAR SUPPORT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The acetabular support component latches on to the superior component and rests on the acetabulum floor and the rim. This component acts as a check to ensure the superior component is correctly positioned and provides the surgeon with a hand support during the Steinmann pin placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAND GUIDE & INDICATOR ROD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the superior and acetabular support components are removed, the hand guide is then slid over the three Steinman pins. The indicator rod extending from the hand guide provides a visual representation for the surgeon of the correct abduction and anteversion angles. The indicator rod is out of the way of the surgeons working view; however, still provides them the ability to visually align their tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
