Computer-Aided Trauma Surgery: Preliminary Report of 32 Cases
Further Information
Publication History
Publication Date:
24 September 2003 (online)
Abstract
32 patients profited from computer-assisted surgery to carry out the distal aiming of medullary central nails or the installation of a dynamic hip screw. The duration of fluoroscopy is clearly decreased and the operational duration is slightly lengthened, without iatrogenic consequences for the patient. An evolution in softwares is expected.
Key words
Computer-assisted surgery - distal targeting - irradiation
