Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate model construction and application of CT and anatomical three-dimensional digital model of wrist joint.
METHODS: With "wrist joint, three-dimensional imaging, CT, model construction and application” as key words in Chinese and English, articles published between January 1993 and July 2010 were searched by computer. Articles related to three-dimensional imaging and three-dimensional CT imaging of wrist were included. Repetitive study or Meta analysis articles were excluded. A total of 21 articles were selected and the anatomy of CT three-dimensional digital model of wrist joint research and application was discussed.
RESULTS: The anatomy of three-dimensional digital model of wrist joint construction can be used as an ideal model in wrist joint disease diagnosis and surgical design. CT and anatomical three-dimensional digital model of the wrist can be used for wrist disease diagnosis and surgical design.
CONCLUSION: The anatomical three-dimensional digital model of the wrist has been developed rapidly in recent years. To date, there are several methods for visual and anatomical three-dimensional digital model construction of wrist joint. CT and anatomical three-dimensional digital model of the wrist can be used for wrist diagnosis and surgical design.
