The Innovation of 3D Printing for Preoperative Planning in Hip Preservation Surgery
Sponsor: Nova Scotia Health Authority
Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the introduction of a 3D printed model into the pre and intra-operative planning for arthroscopic femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) surgery. The RCT will look to place patients into one of two treatment groups: 1) conventional preoperative imaging (X-ray, CT, and MRI) only and 2) those that have had a 3D printed model created in addition to the conventional imaging.

Interventions
3D Print + Conventional imaging
This group will have a 3D reconstruction of their hip printed using a 3D printer so that the PI can use it in their pre and intra-operative planning along with traditional imaging.
Conventional imaging
This group will have CT, MRI and X-Ray imaging completed so that the PI can use it in their pre and intra-operative planning.
