“…In 5% of humans undergoing TEA, fracture of the olecranon has been reported as a major complication 16 . Bone cuts that are perpendicular to each other, creating a stress riser in the ulna, have been identified as a predisposing factor for an olecranon fracture 17 . In one study, comparing different ulnar ostectomies, the ulna retained a higher strength if it was prepared with a rounded rather than a 90° cut 16 .…”

“…Macdonald et al (2004) and Kludge (2007) indicate that the success of knee replacement surgery depends on two critical factors: bone cutting alignment and implant position on the cutting plane. Zafiropoulos and Attfield (1995) and Haaker et al (2005) reported that cutting accuracy can be improved significantly by using a cutting jig rather than solely using bare hands. Researchers have argued that errors can occur despite correct positioning of the jig because of vibration and instability during the cutting procedure or variations in individual anatomy (Macdonald et al, 2004;Kendoff et al, 2009).…”

This paper discusses the design and development of a prototype of a knee surgery cutting jig, the jig holder, and the jig injection mold by Rapid Prototyping (RP). The aim of this study is to design a jig and a jig holder that allow surgeons to correctly, precisely, and consistently perform knee replacement surgery. The design concept for the surgery jig and jig holder was selected using the Pugh method with medical-grade 316L stainless steel for material fabrication. A rapid prototype model was built directly from its CAD model in stereo lithography (STL) format by using the Fused Deposition Method (FDM). MasterCAM and Moldflow simulation were performed to generated G-codes and a possibility of jig fabrication using Metal Injection Molding (MIM), respectively. The Moldflow result provided an enhanced interpretation of the injection mold design. A conceptual mold design was again developed by the FDM. The prototype of the cutting jig and its holder underwent a machining process. The prototype was then tested on dummy bones to determine the functional performance and efficiency of the said prototype. Results indicated an increase in cutting accuracy and cutting time compared with computer-assisted total knee surgery without the jig system.
