Application of an augmented reality tool for maxillary positioning in orthognathic surgery – A feasibility study

SummaryBackgroundAn augmented reality tool for computer assisted surgery named X-Scope® allows visual tracking of real anatomical structures in superposition with volume rendered CT or MRI scans and thus can be used for navigated translocation of bony segments.MethodsIn a feasibility study X-Scope® was used in orthognathic surgery to control the translocation of the maxilla after Le Fort I osteotomy within a bimaxillary pr
