Abstract:

BACKGROUND: At present, most of the methods to determine the cut planes of corrnective osteotomy are based on two-dimensional X-ray films and empirical judgment, and the accuracy is poor.
OBJECTIVE: To accurately determine the cut planes of the radial osteotomy by digital simulation technique.
METHODS: A CT scanning data of double carpal joint of a patient with multiple exostoses was imported into Mimics for three-dimensional reconstruction. The computer-aided design and spatial analytic geometry was used to determine the cut planes and measure their parameters, digital simulation technique was used to simulate the surgical procedure of osteotomy and reduction.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The method mentioned in article can determine and measure the bilateral cut planes of the radial corrective osteotomy, providing an accuracy and intuitive clinical guide.
