Computer-assisted surgery in orthopedic oncology

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In orthopedic oncology, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) can be considered an alternative to fluoroscopy and direct measurement for orientation, planning, and margin control. However, only small case series reporting specific applications have been published. We therefore describe possible applications of CAS and report preliminary results in 130 procedures. PATIENTS AND...

Computer-assisted navigation in orthopedic surgery.

Computer-assisted navigation has a role in some orthopedic procedures. It allows the surgeons to obtain real-time feedback and offers the potential to decrease intra-operative errors and optimize the surgical result. Computer-assisted navigation systems can be active or passive. Active navigation systems can either perform surgical tasks or prohibit the surgeon from moving past a predefined zon...

Orthopedic Surgery Training on Personal Computer

Surgical training is one of the most promising areas in medicine where 3-D computer graphics and virtual reality techniques are emerging. This paper provides an advanced report on our project that aims to create virtual reality tools for training medical students and for improving skills and efficiency of orthopedic surgeons in internal fixation of bone fractures. The paper describes the whole ...
