Segmentation of mandibular bone in CT scans is crucial for 3D virtual surgical planning craniofacial tumor resection and free flap reconstruction the defect, order to obtain a detailed surface representation bones. A major drawback most existing segmentation methods that they require large amount expert knowledge manual or partially automatic segmentation. In fact, due lack experienced doctors experts, high quality hard achieve practice. Furthermore, mandibles influenced seriously by metal...
Abstract Several new systems for three-dimensional (3D) surface imaging of the face have become available to assess changes following orthognathic or facial surgery. Before they can be implemented in practice, their reliability and validity must established. Our aim, therefore, was study intra- inter-system 3dMD (stereophotogrammetry), Artec Eva Space Spider (both structured light scanners). Intra- reliability, expressed root mean square distance, determined by scanning a mannequin’s head...
<h3>Importance</h3> In acetabular fracture surgery, achieving an optimal reconstruction of the articular surface decreases risk osteoarthritis and subsequent need for total hip arthroplasty. However, no one-size-fits-all osteosynthesis plate is available owing to differences in patterns variations pelvic anatomy. Currently, plates be manually contoured intraoperatively, often resulting inadequate reduction fixation fractured segments. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine feasibility accuracy a...
Background: Radiographic measurements of initial displacement tibial plateau fractures and postoperative reduction are used to determine treatment strategy prognosis. We assessed the association between radiographic risk conversion total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at time follow-up. Methods: A 862 patients surgically treated for 2003 2018 were eligible this multicenter cross-sectional study. Patients approached follow-up, 477 (55%) responded. The gap step-off measured on preoperative computed...
Abstract Purpose There is a debate whether corrective osteotomies of the distal radius should be performed using 3D work-up with pre-contoured conventional implants (i.e., of-the-shelf) or patient-specific custom-made). This study aims to assess postoperative accuracy 3D-assisted correction osteotomy either implant. Methods Twenty were planned technologies and on Thiel embalmed human cadavers. Our workflow consisted virtual surgical planning printed guides for repositioning. Subsequently,...
BackgroundOral and maxillofacial surgery currently relies on virtual planning based image data (CT, MRI). Three-dimensional (3D) visualizations are typically used to plan predict the outcome of complex surgical procedures. To translate operating room, it is either converted into physical 3D-printed guides or directly translated using real-time navigation systems.PurposeThis study aims improve translation a procedure, such as oncologic trauma surgery, in terms accuracy speed. Here we report...
We have described the use of 3-dimensional (3D) virtual planning and 3D printed patient-specific osteotomy templates in surgical correction a complex spinal deformity. Pedicle subtraction osteotomies (PSOs) for severe deformities are technically demanding procedures with risk major complications. In particular, operations severely deformed spine call new, more precise, methods planning. The new technology could result possibilities deformities.We present case congenital kyphoscoliosis young...
Purpose: Classic encoder–decoder-based convolutional neural network (EDCNN) approaches cannot accurately segment detailed anatomical structures of the mandible in computed tomography (CT), for instance, condyles and coronoids mandible, which are often affected by noise metal artifacts. The main reason is that EDCNN ignore connectivity organs. In this paper, we propose a novel CNN-based 3D segmentation approach has ability to structures. Methods: Different from classic EDCNNs need slice or...
Abstract Purpose Currently, no gold standard exists for 3D analysis of virtually planned surgery accuracy postoperatively. The aim this study was to present a new, validated and standardised methodology postoperative assessment surgical in patients undergoing guided corrective osteotomies. Methods All who underwent osteotomy 2021–2022 at our center with CT were included. Postoperative outcome analysed compared the preoperative virtual planning determine achieved accuracy. Validation...
Background When faced with a severe intraarticular injury like tibial plateau fracture, patients count on surgeons to make an accurate estimation of prognosis. Unfortunately, there are few tools available that enable precise, personalized prognosis tailored each patient’s unique circumstances, including their individual and fracture-specific characteristics. In this study, we developed validated clinical prediction model using machine-learning algorithms for the 2- 5-year risk TKA after...
