Computer–Assisted Deformity Correction Using the Ilizarov Method
The Taylor spatial frame is a fixation device used to implement the Ilizarov method of bone deformity correction to gradually distract an osteotomized bone at regular intervals, according to a prescribed sched...

Computer-Assisted Correction of Bone Deformities Using a 6-DOF Parallel Spatial Mechanism
The Ilizarov method is used to correct bone deformities by using an adjustable frame to simultaneously perform alignment and distraction of an open-wedge osteotomy. We have adapted the idea of fixation-based s...

Affine Transformations and Atlases: Assessing a New Navigation Tool for Knee Arthroplasty
We propose a new guidance paradigm for computer-assisted orthopadic surgery, based on nonrigid registration of a patient to a standard atlas model. Such a method would save costs and time compared to CT-based ...

Minimally Invasive Excision of Deep Bone Tumors
An osteoid osteoma is a small, benign, active, painful osteoblastic bone lesion. To effect a cure the entire nidus must be removed, because residual nidus is associated with recurrence of the osteoid osteoma [...

Spotlights: A Robust Method for Surface-Based Registration in Orthopedic Surgery
Fast, simple and effective registration methods are needed in a wide variety of computer-assisted surgical procedures in which readily locatable anatomical landmarks are not available. Surface-based least-squa...

A method for evaluating CT-based surgical registration
Workers in medical robotics and computer-assisted surgery are increasingly concerned with the accuracy of rigid registration of preoperative medical images to intraoperative data. Much of the work on evaluatio...
