Medacta has successfully completed the first surgery in the U.S. using MyPAO, a platform for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) procedures based on patient-matched technology.
 
MyPAO is comprised of a CT-based, 3D pre-operative planning report, 3D pre-operative and post-operative bone models, cortical screws, patient-specific realignment guides for the acetabular fragment during PAO surgery, and dedicated reusable instruments.
 
The surgical planning report includes all relevant pre-op parameters of the hip and a proposal for acetabular realignment, as well as a simulation of corresponding post-op parameters. Surgeons can interact with the information to modify parameters, observe outcomes, and approve the final plan.
 
This surgery was performed by Dr. Ryan Selley at Northwestern Memorial Healthcare in Chicago, Ill. The first MyPAO surgery in Europe took place earlier this year.
 
“My PAO offers an innovative solution to optimizing periacetabular osteotomy correction; the preoperative planning software allows surgeons to assess 3D volumetric acetabular coverage and ultimately execute the desired correction in an accurate and efficient manner,” Dr. Selley told the press.
 
The platform is a part of Medacta’s MySolutions Personalized Ecosystem, a network of digital tools aimed to boost outcomes, efficiency, and sustainability.
