A Computer Aided Control System in Orthopaedic Applications

Öz

In this work, a computer aided control system enabling effective usage of external fixators that are widely utilized in orthopaedics for various purposes is presented. With this system, possibility for fixator to fall into a singular position througout the treatment is reduced by cahnging its rod lengths according to various functional models. Furthermore, a 3D simulation belonging to proposed treatment scheme is provided to allow the doctor visually inspect the treatment process before it is initialized

Ortopedik Uygulamalarda Bilgisayarlı Denetim Sistemi

Öz

Bu çalışmada, ortopedi alanında farklı amaçlar için kullanılmakta olan harici fiksatörlerin etkili kullanımını sağlayacak olan bir bilgisayarlı denetim sistemi tanıtılmıştır. Bu bilgisayar sistemiyle, çubuk boylarını faklı fonksiyonel modellere uygun olacak şekilde değiştirerek, fiksatörün tedavi süresince tekil konuma gelme ihtimali azaltılmıştır. Ayrıca öngörülen tedaviye ait olan 3-boyutlu simülasyon ile doktora, tedaviye başlamadan önce kemiğin izleyeceği yolu görselleştirme olanağı sağlanmıştır

Anahtar Kelimeler
