Computer aided planning of orthopaedic surgeries: the definition of generic planning steps for bone removal procedures

PurposeAn increasing number of orthopaedic surgeons are using computer aided planning tools for bone removal applications. The aim of the study was to consolidate a set of generic functions to be used for a 3D computer assisted planning or simulation.MethodsA limited subset of 30 surgical procedures was analyzed and verified in 243 surgical procedures of a surgical atlas. Fourteen generic functions to be used in 3D computer assisted planning and simulations were extracted.ResultsOur results showed that the average procedure comprises 14 ± 10 (SD) steps with ten different generic planning steps and four generic bone removal steps.ConclusionsIn conclusion, the study shows that with a limited number of 14 planning functions it is possible to perform 243 surgical procedures out of Campbell’s Operative Orthopedics atlas. The results may be used as a basis for versatile generic intraoperative planning software.
