Item Developing an Application to Provide Interactive Threedimensional Visualisation of Bone Fractures(The Eurographics Association, 2009) Wilson, Arline F.; Musgrove, Peter B.; Buckley, Kevan A.; Pearce, Gill; Geoghegan, John; Wen Tang and John CollomosseThe main research question for this work is: What are the factors involved in developing a three-dimensional (3D) interactive model of a bone fracture and how best may these be addressed? This paper presents work in progress of the development of an Interactive Bone Fragment Manipulation tool which could be used as an aid for pre-operative planning of surgery on complex fractures.Item Using 3D Visualisation in the Repair of Intra-articular Fractures(The Eurographics Association, 2007) Wilson, A. F.; Musgrove, P. B.; Buckley, K. A.; Pearce, G.; Geoghegan, J.; Ik Soo Lim and David DuceThe overall aim of this work in progress is to use visualisation to provide a tool for pre-operative planning of surgery on complex fractures, in particular for intra-articular fractures. Currently, a patient suffering from an intra-articular fracture has a high risk of developing arthritis if the fracture is not restored to an exact anatomical position. The visualisation of bone fractures may provide useful information that could assist the orthopaedic surgeon. The intention is to create a prototype using 2D and 3D visualisation to manipulate bone fragments on screen.
