Abstract

This paper presents a new computer-based method for periaxial rotation measurement of healthy and fractured femurs during closed femoral fracture reduction surgery from CT. The method provides a comparative quantitative measure to align the distal and proximal femur fragments based on periaxial rotation. We define periaxial rotation in terms of patient-specific bone features and describe an algorithm for automatically extracting these features from the CT. We applied the method to a patient data set and simulated a reduction based on the anteversion measurements with satisfactory results.
