Bone-FixES: An External Skeletal Fixation Expert System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bone-FixES is an expert system currently under development to aid student and clinical practitioner decision making for construction of external skeletal fixation devices. External skeletal fixation devices (also called fixators) are used to secure broken bone segments during the healing process. For teaching, Bone-FixES will be used to provide feedback to students given a clinical scenario and asked to construct an appropriate fixator. The current system analyzes patient factors and fixator construction to assess the quality of the student’s solution to the scenario. In practice, Bone-FixES will be used to assist veterinarians with fixator construction via analysis and recommendations. The development of Bone-FixES follows the tradition knowledge engineering approach of rapid prototyping within a prolog environment using a simple

Treatment of Vertically Unstable Sacral Fractures with Pelvic External Fixation and Skeletal Traction
Objective: To determine the efficacy in treatment of vertically unstable sacral fractures with pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction. Patients and Methods: The pelvic external fixation and skeletal traction were applied on 12 cases of vertically unstable sacral fracture (eight males and four females, at age of 19 52 years, mean 35.2 years) including two cases of Denis Zone I, nine of Z...
متن کاملExternal fixation and temporary stabilization of femoral and tibial trauma.
External fixation is an important option in the acute management of unstable femoral and tibial fractures and the temporary stabilization of periarticular injuries of the knee or ankle. The value of external fixation as the modality of choice in selective civilian and military applications is well documented. Primary indications include damage control for multitrauma management in patients with...
متن کاملMachine Learning Techniques for the Evaluation of External Skeletal Fixation Structures
In this thesis we compare several machine learning techniques for evaluating external skeletal fixation proposals. We experimented in the context of dog bone fractures but the potential applications are numerous. Decision trees tend to give both binary and multiple-class predictions quickly and accurately. The classifier system method does worse due to the small size of the data set and missing...
متن کاملSkeletal fixation of grade IIIB tibial fractures. The potential of metaanalysis.
Contemporary management of Grade IIIB open tibial fractures has evolved to include intravenous antibiotics, thorough interval surgical debridement, rigid skeletal fixation, early local or free tissue myoplasty, and liberal use of autogenous bone graft beneath a clean, stable wound. External fixation has been the skeletal stabilization of choice with the lowest reported deep sepsis rates. Pin tr...

Background: Application of Hybrid 6 degrees of freedom fixation could lead to space motion in each 3 anatomic plates together and decrease the time of complex deformities correction. This study is an investigation on the function of hybrid external fixation and the influence of it on decreasing the treatment time. About this case utilize of Ortho-SUV Frame (OSF) system is explained for the firs...
