Description
Summary:A computer-assisted preoperative simulating system for calcaneal collapse's internal fixation surgery by integrating different CAD software's function has been developed in this paper. This system uses the full-scaled 3D reverse engineering technique in designing and developing preoperative simulation modules for the calcaneal internal fixation surgery. The simulating system presents a real-sized 3D image of the calcaneus, and provides detailed interior measurements of the calcaneus from various cutting planes. This study applied computer-assisted technology to integrate different software's function to a surgical simulation system, which includes a 3-D image model capturing, cutting, moving, rotating and measurement for relevant foot anatomy. Surgeons can utilize it as part of preoperative simulation to develop efficient operative procedures. This system also has an extendable databank which provides the clinical cases to different users for experience learning.
