Design and Evaluation of 3-D Pre-operative Planning Software: Application to Acetabular Implant Alignment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a methodology for evaluating the user interface components of a pre-operative planning system for performing complex 3-D spatial manipulation and reasoning tasks. The design of a pre-operative planning system for the alignment of acetabular implants in total hip replacement (THR) surgery is used as an example. For this application, we have implemented several alternatives to two of the planner’s sub-systems. We report the results of a pilot study which evaluate these alternative components with respect to task and user specific design criteria.

Evaluation of Strain Distribution in Bone around Implant in Treatment Design of Overdentures Using Computer and Modeling of Finite Elements
Introduction: Introduction: Few studies have investigated the distribution of stress around implants. In this study the distribution of stress in bones around implants was investigated in five overdenture (OD) treatment designs including OD-1, OD-2, OD-3, OD-4 and OD-5. Materials and methods: The Catia modeling software was used in order to simulate the tooth/implant model and bone. First, the ...
متن کاملPredictability of reformatted computed tomography for pre-operative planning of endosseous implants.
OBJECTIVES To determine the reliability of reformatted 2D-CT for pre-operative planning of implant placement. METHODS One hundred consecutive partially or fully edentate patients underwent 2-D reformatted CT pre-operative planning and subsequent implant placement. The number, site and size of the implants, the available bone height and anatomical complications were recorded. The pre-operative...
متن کاملThe use of a virtual three-dimensional model to evaluate the intraosseous space available for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular fractures.
We created virtual three-dimensional reconstruction models from computed tomography scans obtained from patients with acetabular fractures. Virtual cylindrical implants were placed intraosseously in the anterior column, the posterior column and across the dome of the acetabulum. The maximum diameter which was entirely contained within the bone was determined for each position of the screw. In t...

OBJECTIVE Treatment of acetabular fractures remains one of the most challenging tasks that orthopaedic surgeons face. An accurate assessment of the injuries and preoperative planning are essential for an excellent reduction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy and effectiveness of performing 3D printing technology and computer-assisted virtual surgical procedures...

PURPOSE To prospectively compare two widely used seed implant techniques: pre-planning and intra-operative planning, based on 1 month post-implant CT-based evaluation. METHODS We report results of a detailed 1 month post-operative dosimetric evaluation and comparison between 142 consecutive men with prostate adenocarcinoma treated by the pre-planning methodology and 214 men treated with the r...
