High-precision Restoration System for Fracture Reduction and Bone Deformity Correction
We developed a virtual reality-based surgical navigation of the restoration system for fracture reduction and bone deformity correction. By using a patient-specific 3D model instead of CT in our navigation, more precise restoration of bone fracture and deformation could be achieved with reduced radiation exposures.

Patient-specific 3D model without CT
● Virtual reality-based surgical navigation requires a pre-operative image of a patient such as CT/MRI.
● By replacing CT which requires a high cost and radiation exposure, a patient-specific 3D model was generated from Statistical Shape Model (SSM) with a limited number of X-ray images of the patient

Virtual reality-based surgical navigation
● Virtual reality-based surgical navigation can provide a relative 3D position between fractured bones intuitionally.
● Key information such as length, angle, and rotation (LAR) which is a desired value for reduction was displayed with a high accuracy.
● Virtual reality-based surgical navigation integrated with high-precision restoration system.
