Prediction of the drilling path to surgically pin the femoral neck from the spatial location of pelvic and femoral anatomical landmarks: A cadaver validation study

Highlights • Developing an X-ray-free method that would allow for a pathway to be drilled between the lateral aspect of the femoral diaphysis the femoral neck and the head centres. • Scalable multiple regressions allow for the prediction of the most optimal drilling pathway. • Surgical ancillary pro...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Developing an X-ray-free method that would allow for a pathway to be drilled between the lateral aspect of the femoral diaphysis the femoral neck and the head centres. • Scalable multiple regressions allow for the prediction of the most optimal drilling pathway. • Surgical ancillary prototype that integrates the method of guiding the pin drilling has been developed.
