Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In the treatment of orthopedic surgery of the spine and long bone fractures, obtaining the complete bone structure image of the fracture part has great clinical significance for monitoring and evaluating the intraoperative effect of orthopedic surgery. 
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical application of mobile C-arm X-ray image-splicing technology in orthopedic surgery.
METHODS: The spine and long bone in the surgical site took the X-ray C-arm fluoroscopy in order to obtain 2-4 images. The image mosaicing software was used to multiple regional overlap the images, and then a panoramic image of spine and long bone on the surgical site was obtained after treated with image-splicing technology.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: A panoramic image of spine and long bone on the surgical site was obtained on one photo after treated with C-arm X-ray image-splicing technology, which could display the overall view of spine and long bone clearly and completely, help the surgeon to understand and evaluate the contraposition and alignment situation timely, thus measure the length and the angle. It can provide strong support for the further development of the surgical quality.
