3D visualization of the Letournel-Judet clssification of acetabular fractures based on a desktop virtual reality / 中华创伤骨科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish a 3D atlas of Letournel-Judet classifications of acetabular fractures which provides remote access on the web through hypertext markup language (HTML) and virtual reality modeling language (VRML) for efficient remote diagnosis. Methods Firstly,different Letournel-Judet classifications of acetabular fracture were simulated based on 3D reconstruction models of healthy volunteers via Mimics software.The files of VRML format were exported after geometry modeling.Secondly,The.wrl files were edited by adding nodes of Sensor,Route,and Script to the files to make the static scene respond to users' interaction.Finally,the homepage of 3D atlas was established with the Dreamweaver software.Results The 3D atlas of Letournel-Judet classifications of acetabular fractures was established which can be accessed online.These virtual worlds can be browsed via the Internet and hyperlinked with the World Wide Web. Conclusion The 3D atlas of Letournel-Judet classifications of acetabular fractures can be easily and convenicntly used by surgeons for consultation in clinical diagnosis of an acetabular fracture.
