Objective: To explore the clinical effect of computer-assisted and 3D printing technology, and to find more accurate treatment methods to improve surgical efficiency and reduce surgical complications. Methods Combined with relevant literature, the intraoperative orthopedic plan of moderate hallux valgus was made for a patient with computer assistance and 3D printing technology, and the postoperative orthopedic situation and complications of both feet were observed. Results The patient, female, 70 years old, was admitted to the hospital in 2023-10-16 due to "pain in hallux for more than 1 year". After admission, improve relevant inspection and examination, diagnosis: double foot hallux valgus, in 2023-10-18 in lumbar hard anesthesia" double foot hallux capsule resection with soft tissue release, computer-assisted first metatarsal resection, internal fixation of right foot, double lower limb plaster fixation", after regular postoperative analgesia, debridement and dressing for symptomatic support treatment, the incision healed well and was discharged on 2023-10-16. Conclusion Using computer assistance in preoperative simulation for orthopedic plan, at the same time 3D printing technology to make intraoperative osteotomy guide plate, can accurately positioning auxiliary osteotomy, reduce damage, improve the efficiency of surgery, reduce postoperative complications, for clinical patients with hallux valgus deformity correction provide individualized and accurate treatment, for the surgeons intraoperative surgery orthopedic way to provide guidance and theoretical basis.
