Automatic Fracture Reduction
We present a method to automatically reposition the fragments of a broken bone based on surface meshes segmented from CT scans. The result of this virtual fracture reduction is intended to be used as an operation plan for a medical procedure. Particularly in minimally invasive surgery like intramedullary nailing, the correct repositioning of bone fragments is not always apparent or visible with...
متن کاملRobotic Long Bone Fracture Reduction
Medical robotics is still a relatively new field with researchers and companies all adopting various styles and techniques to solve the challenges faced. This chapter outlines one unique approach to the development of a medical robot for the reduction of broken femurs. Fractures are common injuries, for example in adults over the age of 65 it is reported that 87% of falls results in a fracture ...
متن کامل3D Robot Assisted Fracture Reduction
Reduction in femoral shaft fractures may be difficult to achieve with minimal invasive techniques. Malalignment and high intraoperative radiation exposures can result. Our hypothesis is that robot assisted fracture reduction may improve the quality of reduction while reducing the amount of radiation exposure. In this paper we present a telemanipulator system for the robot assisted reduction of ...
متن کاملRobot-assisted Long Bone Fracture Reduction
The preferred treatment of femoral (thigh bone) shaft fractures nowadays is the minimally invasive technique of intramedullary nailing. However, in addition to its advantages, this technique also has a number of disadvantages, such as the frequent occurrence of malaligned fracture reductions and high X-ray exposure, especially to the operating team. The aim of our research is to overcome these ...
متن کاملNext steps for falls and fracture reduction.
In July the Department of Health (DH) in England published a toolkit of resources to promote more effective services to reduce the burden of falls and fractures in older people. Unfortunately, there is plenty of evidence that the present provision of falls services is suboptimal. The toolkit is part of a ‘Prevention Package’ aimed primarily at commissioners of care, in an attempt to achieve a m...
