Abstract
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printed models may help patients understand complex anatomic pathologies such as femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). We aimed to assess patient understanding and satisfaction when using 3D printed models compared with standard imaging modalities for discussion of FAIS diagnosis and surgical plan.
Methods: A consecutive series of 76 new patients with FAIS (37 patients in the 3D model cohort and 39 in the control cohort) from a single surgeon's clinic were educated using imaging and representative 3D printed models of FAI or imaging without models (control). Patients received a voluntary post-visit questionnaire that evaluated their understanding of the diagnosis, surgical plan, and visit satisfaction.
Results: Patients in the 3D model cohort reported a significantly higher mean understanding of FAIS (90.0 ± 11.5 versus 79.8 ± 14.9 out of 100; P = 0.001) and surgery (89.5 ± 11.6 versus 81.0 ± 14.5; P = 0.01) compared with the control cohort. Both groups reported high levels of satisfaction with the visit.
Conclusion: In this study, the use of 3D printed models in clinic visits with patients with FAIS improved patients' perceived understanding of diagnosis and surgical treatment.
