Computer-assisted surgical (CAS) planning tools are available for craniofacial surgery, but are usually based on computer-aided design (CAD) tools that lack the ability to detect the collision of virtual objects (i.e., fractured bone segments).
He has a fractured bone in his knee.
The scans showed a fractured bone.
Check for a fractured bone.
"We have fractured bones and crushed pelvises.
All fractures were classified according to the AO/OTA classification system [8]; fractures were classified according bone segment (41 - proximal tibia, 42 - tibia shaft, 43 - distal tibia), fracture type (A - extra-articular, B - partial articular, C - complete articular) and fracture group (1 - simple, 2 - wedge, 3 - complex).
The height of the osteotomized segment was at least 3 mm to allow the insertion of a stabilizing screw without risking the fracture of the distracted bone segment.
Hannah et al. [21] described placing the blocking screw in the acute angles formed between the long axis of the bone segment and the fracture plane in oblique fractures.
Thus, the adjustment of the connection between bone pin/pin clamp of Othofix® fixator is required, while the alignment of one of the translational joints of Dynafix® fixator with its bone segment axis during fracture stabilization procedure is a crucial step.
Theoretically, our formula works if the fracture line is on a cylindrical bone segment.
There are a multitude of methods described that successfully utilize circular fixators (both Ilizarov fine-wire fixators and octahedral hexapod fixators) to close these defects primarily either by angulating and deforming the fracture or by acutely shortening the bone segment in order to close the wound [10, 11, 12, 13].
