Identification of fracture zones and its application in automatic bone fracture reduction

Highlights • We classify the approaches currently proposed to perform a computerbased fracture reduction • We provide an automatic method to calculate contact zones of bone fractures • We present an automatic approach to match and align multiple bone fragments using the previously calculated contact...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We classify the approaches currently proposed to perform a computerbased fracture reduction • We provide an automatic method to calculate contact zones of bone fractures • We present an automatic approach to match and align multiple bone fragments using the previously calculated contact zones • We test the suitability of two different filters to determine points belonging to the contact zone between two bone fragments • We calculate the overlapping between fragments in order to quantitatively measure the obtained results
