Computer assisted reconstruction of complex proximal humerus fractures for preoperative planning
<23>The difficult problem of displaced shoulder fractures can benefit significantly from accurate preoperative assessment. This paper presents a method for planning reconstruction of complex shoulder bone fractures with minimal user interaction. The approach relies on automatic fragment matching to contralateral anatomy. The framework was validated in cadaver experiments and on real patients. The work has been carried out in a collaboration with the University Hospital Balgrist (coauthors) and the developed software is now used in daily practice.
