Fluoro-navigation in orthopaedic trauma / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

With the advancement in computer and imaging technologies, more and more surgical procedures can be performed with the help of the computer. This is especially true with the orthopaedic trauma surgery where the surgeons are working indirectly on the images, either acquired preoperatively or intraoperatively, to carry out fracture fixation procedures. The images can come from CT scan, intraoperative real-time fluoroscopy or endoscopy. The combination of computer and other information technologies in clinical practice is sure to be one of the major developments in the coming years. In this issue of the Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, we will update you with the clinical applications of the real-time fluoro-navigation.
