Abstract

There are various tools for application of digital technologies in the planning of orthopedic surgery. However, in practice there is always a need for new solutions, with tendence to achieve a balance between functionality and ease of use. We decided to complement the existing practice with our solution that will enable the surgeon, a set of the tools needed to implement the surgery over the foot bone structures. The program also enables 3D reconstruction, and work in the 3D interface with all necessary tools for manipulation, simulation, measurements and other actions in order to define optimal parameters for the implementation of the intervention. These parameters are ultimately stored in the final report, which gives the operator a clear guidelines on each of the procedure step. As a result of the implementation of such a plan it is also possible to obtain a virtual model which can be physically produced, thus providing the ability to practice procedures over the real model.
