Patient-Specific Depth-Limiting 3D-Printed Guide for Sternal Wedge Osteotomy: Design, Preclinical Validation, and Single-Case Feasibility
We evaluated the technical feasibility of a patient-specific, depth-limiting 3D-printed guide intended to support standardized sternal wedge osteotomy by facilitating controlled angulation and proportional depth limitation (osteotomy depth not exceeding two-thirds of total sternal thickness, preserving the posterior on...
