Thanks to the&nbsp;<strong>3D planning<\/strong>, Dr. Coulin can now anticipate each gesture before the operation, simulate the positioning of the implants and adapt the surgery to the actual anatomy of each patient. This approach allows for a faster, more reliable and longer-lasting recovery, while reducing the risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D planning is now a standard in complex knee and hip surgeries. It combines medical expertise with the power of digital tools to achieve a customized result, perfectly adapted to the patient&#039;s morphology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is 3D planning?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&nbsp;<strong>3D planning in orthopedic surgery<\/strong>&nbsp;is based on the analysis of precise medical images (scanner or MRI) which allow the joint to be virtually reconstructed in three dimensions. This digital reconstruction offers a faithful view of the anatomy, much more detailed than a conventional X-ray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to specialized software, the surgeon can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create personalized surgical instruments, such as cutting guides tailored to each patient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accurately visualize the anatomy of the hip or knee.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Measure the axes, curvatures, wear areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Simulate the intervention upstream (type of implant, size, orientation).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This anticipation makes surgery safer and more effective. The patient benefits from a perfectly adapted surgical procedure, limiting unforeseen events in the operating room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What surgeries is 3D planning used for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Coulin joins the&nbsp;<strong>3D planning<\/strong>&nbsp;in several specific situations where precision is crucial:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prosthesis revision<\/strong>&nbsp;: in the event of a worn or poorly positioned implant, 3D planning makes it possible to anticipate the recovery and secure the replacement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coulinmedical.com\/en\/prothese-totale-de-genou\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coulinmedical.com\/prothese-totale-de-genou\/\">Total knee prosthesis<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;: it facilitates custom instrumentation and improves alignment, ensuring better implant longevity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complex hip prosthesis<\/strong>&nbsp;or implant revision: virtual reconstruction helps choose the best orientation to regain stability and mobility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/coulinmedical.com\/en\/osteotomie-preserver-larticulation\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/coulinmedical.com\/osteotomie-preserver-larticulation\/\">Corrective osteotomy<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;(genu varum or valgum): 3D planning ensures precise realignment to relieve the joint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Reconstruction after trauma<\/strong>&nbsp;or old deformation: 3D modeling allows adaptation to atypical anatomies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all these indications, 3D planning improves the reliability and reproducibility of surgical results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why does 3D planning improve results?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&nbsp;<strong>3D planning<\/strong>&nbsp;significantly improves the positioning of the prosthesis by adapting to the actual morphology. It offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fewer complications<\/strong>&nbsp;: a better positioned implant reduces the risks of misalignment, instability or premature wear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Respect for tissues<\/strong>&nbsp;: the incisions are more targeted, preserving the surrounding muscles and tendons as much as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Accelerated recovery<\/strong>&nbsp;: by anticipating each action, surgery is faster and less invasive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better understanding for the patient<\/strong>\u00a0: 3D simulation allows you to visualize the intervention and understand the surgical choices, strengthening confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, 3D planning transforms the surgical experience by combining safety, personalization and post-operative comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does 3D planning work in Geneva with Dr. Coulin ?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Geneva, Dr. Coulin has implemented a protocol of&nbsp;<strong>3D planning<\/strong>&nbsp;structured, which takes place in several stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sosgenougeneve.ch\/imagerie-genou\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sosgenougeneve.ch\/imagerie-genou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High-resolution CT or MRI<\/a>\u00a0to collect accurate images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3D reconstruction of the joint using dedicated software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete simulation of the procedure: choice of size, orientation and axes of the implant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Design of custom surgical guides, if necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surgery assisted according to the approved plan, with rigorous monitoring at each stage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This secure process improves the reliability of surgical procedures and reduces the time spent in the operating room, while maximizing the accuracy of the result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3D planning, at the heart of tomorrow&#039;s surgery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3D planning is now one of the cornerstones of modern orthopedic surgery.
